New here... Looking for PDP 11 / RSTS help

I'm new to this fine place, but not so new to retrocomputing... I had a question... I wonder if any of you know the answer... I'm trying to relive my misspent youth, spent hacking into the RSTS/E system at Arizona State Univerisity. I'm trying to set up a system with RSTS/E v9 and the version of Simh that supports DZ0: (DZ11) devices. (on http://elvira.stacken.kth.se) I have no problem building the system from the tapes (images)... that' s all fine. When you look at the HARDWR LIST (when you don't start timesharing) it sees the device (DZ0:) --but-- when I try to connect via telnet, I just get "welcome to the PDP simulator" and then nothing. I'm assuming that you have to set something, somewhere else, to enable the device. I've been though loads of RSTS/E manuals, and I can't figure it out. In my defense, when I was messing about with RSTS/E (and learning to program and such) I was 12 years old, and didn't have access to the hardware. I am the proud *owner* of a PDP 11/23, but my evil wife wouldn't let me transport it to England from Arizona, so it is in the custody of my friend in Phoenix.... Please help, if you can. I'm starting to lose sleep over this one. Oh yes, my wife did fill boxes with all sorts of stuff, like toilet roll and suave shampoo, so why my precious PDP 11/23 (and my TRS-80 Model II) had to be left behind I don't know. Women!
