<br>
<br>
I'm in need of accessing physical tty's from SimH now too, see
this BeagleBone installation with 4x RS232:

<br>
<br>
One idea was to let SimH simulate additional serial ports over
telnet as usual.
<br>
Access to physical ttys should be made outside SimH with some
"telnet-server-to-tty" bridge on the BeagleBone Linux itself.
<br>
For MS-Windows such solutions exist, search for "IPCOMSERVER".
<br>
But I found nothing similar on Linux.
<br>
<br>
Did anybody researched in that direction?

Right now I am tooling up to try out an idea or two concerning
the
<br>
PDP-11 emulation. This is to be run on a Raspberry Pi running
the
<br>
latest release of their Raspberry specific Debian release. (Also
fully
<br>
updated and upgraded.)
<br>
<br>
The device has the two USB connections ostensibly for a keyboard
and
<br>
mouse, but one gentleman I know managed to make use of the
serial port
<br>
function on one of them, and attached a USB to serial adapter to
one
<br>
of the connections. So obviously I can connect two adapters to
the two
<br>
ports there.
<br>
<br>
But what about the serial port embedded on the GPIO connectors?
Can I
<br>
make use of that one?
<br>
<br>
I know normally that SIMH emulates a chosen computer and only
fairly
<br>
recently with some of them do communicate with the outside world
via
<br>
Ethernet, but for what I'm planning and working on, it seems to
be a
<br>
good fit. Should it work I might be able to upscale the working
<br>
programs to Mr Wilson's product running on an X86 board instead,
or
<br>
even an actual PDP-11 model.....
