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)?
Here's how I would do it (on the same system) on Mac OS X (or probably any Unix
work-a-like for that matter):
In another terminal window type: "telnet 127.0.0.1:<port>" where
<port> is the # you used in the "set console" command above.
If 127.0.0.1 doesn't work try the IP address of the machine you're running on (ie
the machine that SIMH was started on). This would also allow you to "telnet"
into the SIMH session from any system that can reach the IP address (and isn't blocked
by a router/firewall).

In this case, I agree with the default selection for SIMH, I just
disagree that there is no VT100 support as an option.
SIMH supports redirecting the console to a Telnet port using "set console
telnet=<port>". You can connect just about any terminal emulator you want in
this way, so there is no need for SIMH to include its own terminal emulator.
