[Simh] Raspbian repository versus Github current

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Then the question becomes having the console, that is the simh prompt,
be seen on what's connecting to the Raspberry Pi via SSH startup that
simh/PDP-11 one and after UNIX finishes starting up, the serial port
itself provides the user prompt. How would I set that up?
