I bit of googling showed a few people on the SimH mailing list
were thinking about a virtual appliance version. I don't know if
they did it. They were talking about a stripped-down Linux.
So how would we connect a glass terminal or a DECwriter to it?

Dunno if SimH already does allow this, but it's open source :) If it can grab socket
or open a file, opening a device file in linux or bsd shouldn't be that hard.

That's about it - it doesn't connect to a physical serial port. To do
what you want to do, you might need a terminal server. -- Ian

Very good! I had seen similar code in a Python cookbook a while back - my
mention of 'terminal server' was not intended to preclude this sort of
software solution. Cheers -- Ian
