Is there any possibility of plain ordinary VT100 or VT220 emulation
with SimH? I have the impression that telnet can do this in some
manner, but I have no idea exactly how. IN ADDITION, the
RT-11 monitors I use have multi-terminal support, usually for
DLV11-J serial ports, but sometimes for DZV11 and / or DHV11
serial ports. Can SimH handle that emulation as well? And
can there also be VT100 emulation for those multi-terminal
serial ports as well?
It may be possible to have a separate PC emulating a VT100
operating via an actual physical hardware serial port. But
that would seem to be a huge waste of resources when it
is possible for a single PC running SimH to support all of
the serial ports with VT100 emulation in some manner
although I agree that is not how SimH functions at present.
Yes you can configure SIMH to listen for incoming Telnet connections for
both the console port and for multiplexer ports, for example DHV11 ports.
I use that feature all the time using Kermit 95 as the Telnet client and
VT100 emulator on the same 64-bit Windows 10 host that is running SIMH
PDP-11 or VAX emulation.
I don't remember the syntax for configuring this off the top of my head.
I'll have to check.
