<blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;">Im just talking
about the system console. Im simulating an HP2100 system using
simh and for this the system console is on the simh console.
Consequently, if I attach to the host computer using serial and
then run up the HP2100 system, the system console is on the
serial port. All the user terminals via the multiplexer are
indeed on telenet, for which a terminal server, or something
similar, would be needed to give serial i/o, but an ASR33 system
console would be possible.

A BeagleBone with our "BlinkenCape" serves well as
"serial-to-telnet" converter.
<br>
BlinkenCape has 4 serial ports, over which you can log in to
Angstrom-Linux on the BeagleBone.
<br>
So
<br>
1. You connect your historic equipment (VT100, ASR) to one of the
4 serial UARTs,
<br>
2. get the Linux prompt
<br>
3. connect to one of SimHs user terminal via telnet
<br>
4. then you have your serial device connected over a telnet tunnel
to one of SimH's user serial ports
<br>
<br>
Feeling is much the way a LAT server works.
<br>
But you can access any simulated machine this way, not LAT serving
PDP-11's and VAXes.
<br>
<br>
You don't even need an BeagleBone for this: every PC with login
over a serial port will do.<br>
For example, you can take the serial port on your desktop PC (if
you still have one) and allow your Ubuntu to accept login sessions
on it.<br>
