[Simh] Cluster communications errors

Yes, the switch isn't DEC, but most of the other nodes in the cluster 
are real DEC hardware.

Interesting. Thanks. I just read that and enabled throttling, but just 
with a sample SET XQ THROTTLE=ON. I'll see what that does.

Not enough. It has lost connection several times during the boot....  I 
haven't studied the timings enough to have any idea what I might specify 
for TIME, BURST, or DELAY.

Something else I meant to include:

    load -r /usr/local/vax/data/ka655x.bin
    attach nvr /usr/local/vax/data/nvram.bin
    set cpu 256m
    set rq0 ra92
    attach rq0 /usr/local/vax/data/darth.vdisk
    set rl disable
    set ts disable
    attach xq eth0
    set xq throttle=on
    dep bdr 0
    boot cpu

Thanks!

Hunter
