Yes you can configure SIMH to listen for incoming Telnet connections for
both the console port and for multiplexer ports, for example DHV11 ports.

I use that feature all the time using Kermit 95 as the Telnet client and
VT100 emulator on the same 64-bit Windows 10  host that is running SIMH
PDP-11 or VAX  emulation.

I don't remember the syntax for configuring this off the top of my head.
I'll have to check.
