I'm going to guess that commit X'4A47113F' (from April 12) is where
the problem was fixed, as it was the last commit to touch the
sim_tmxr.c file, and in fact the description of the commit is "TMXR:
Properly initialize incoming line ring state to accepe connections";
which, based on what the MSFT telnet client dumped out, is what was
wrong in the commit X'E05DE3E5' binaries (which are from April 8).

Take your time, I just mentioned it because of my INI file. (Though
chances of the DMC/DMR emulation actually making things happen in just
testing out console telnet is... statistically unlikely.)



I'd try my own hand at contributing code to SIMH, but while I can hack
me some C, I'm definitely not good enough to not horribly break a
project as complex as SIMH.

Cheers.
