PDP-11 mockups?

As a Windows DUMMY, in particular for Windows 98SE and Windows XP, could you PLEASE provide some details? Can it be done using just one hardware system running under a Windows OS? If I require a second hardware system, then almost any advantage will be lost. Also, how is the terminal emulator set up to be in-between SIMH and the user via the command: "SET CONSOLE TELNET=<PORT>" and specifically what environment needs to be set up to allow that command to be entered? A DOS box? What additional files are required? What about multiple terminals in the manner supported by Ersatz-11 (which is a separate issue from the emulation support)? I would rather not be using Windows, but my son provides my support and will only help if I use Windows. He has provided a system for both of his parents, so we don't tend to insist on Unix or some other operating system. Jerome Fine
