Michael,
I would think that having an interface that will also go to the Hercules
/ mvs system would be interesting as well. I do not think there is any
cross simulator or simulator to hardware for this anywhere, and it would
be great to pull off either hooking to the solution discussed here, or
to be able to hook to hercules with either mvs or hasp or some other os
running bisync.
I don't know about the method they use to do the handshake and whether
it takes into account to simulate an I/O card to the level you are
describing or not, but I'm sure it could be done with some work

That?s pretty cool. You could even configure the host
for half duplex and,
on the transmit side use the RTS going false to let the simulated IO card
know that the packet is finished and can be sent.
On the other side, an incoming TCP packet with a payload could cause the
host OS to see a carrier detect until it had read all of the payload bytes
of the packet, after which the CD goes away.
That?s very cool.
Thanks Ethan,
Mike
