The only problems with simh networking that I have found, is that it must

why, except that LAT doesn't route well)
I have access to licenced VMS install CDs that
came with some uVaxen
some time ago at the University where I work. The systems have been
surplussed long ago but we kept the software. If there a decent
(free) emulator that will run these on a Windows/XP or Linux PC?
The ones I've found on the net would appear to be either commercial or
sufficiently cut down or incomplete as not to be practical, but this is
just from reading, not from using. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.
SimH/VAX works fine for most VMS playage.. it supports a fair set of
disks, terminal controllers, tapes, and emulates a KA655 (MicroVAX 3800
et al) system with up to 32MB of memory. It also supports Ethernet,
and can run under either several flavors of U*ix, VMS or Win32.
