[Simh] DEC Net for DOS and the product on an emulated PDP-11 OS

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
What about it? On my system it looks for the tell tales that are found
on the currently popular virtualization flags found on both Intel and
AMD processors, and crashes when it can't find them. It wants me to
find them in the BIOS. I tried to do that eight years ago this
weekend, when the laptop arrived. Not there of course.

VMWare Player is available for free, and will allow you to create
virtual machines without a problem. It's basically the same as
Workstation without the problems of an evaluation period ending and
catching you or the user out. Of course trying to get it to properly
engage on the laptop when running Linux, is a trip to be certain.

Of course I can't go ahead with this idea until I get more feedback
from the rest of the group.
