[Simh] text from openvms

[Johnny Billquist]

If you have problems with getting tcp/ip set up, it's nothing to what 
you'll have trying to get emulated CDs working cross operating systems, 
and getting files and directories in the correct format.

I would *never* go down that path.

kermit is going to be just as much problems in the end as well. The 
advantage of tcp/ip is that you should already have the software 
available, since it's on the VMS distribution CD, from which I assumed 
you installed VMS itself.

But, all this said, you seem to be amazingly skilled at not 
understanding documentation and peoples attempts to help, and very 
skilled at doing things wrong no matter what people say, so I fear that 
no matter what you do, it's going to fail.
