Update: got my SIMH (set console telnet:23) talking to PuTTY in another
window, via Telnet 127.0.0.1:23.
So it is possible ;)
Now it's time to hook up the actual TTY to the USB-current loop card and see
what's what!

I could use a hint... I have a USB to current-loop

board, and Windows 7 on my laptop does recognize it as COM4 at 110
baud. So far so good. No problem hooking it up to my ASR-33 Teletype.
Now I'd really like to figure out how to set SIMH to use the 33 as the
console, so the TTY will be attached to the virtual PDP-8.
Section 3.14, "Console Options" of the "SIMH Users' Guide V4.0"
suggests
that:
set console serial=com4;110-8n2
...should work (though you might need "7e2" or "7o2" instead,
depending on
how your Teletype is set up).
Anything that starts with "set console..."
gives a "no settable
parameters" error.
Does the above also give this error?
