Pdp-10 emulation

Yeah, ITS isn't user (spelled LUSER) friendly, but it sure is neat!
In the past week I was just wondering if anyone has ever written an
"MLDEV" handler for a non-ITS system.

"MLDEV" was the virtual device that made other ITS systems look like
devices (AI: MC: ML: DM:). When a device isn't recognized, ITS
launches a new process (job) connected to the "superior" job (I think
using a "JOBDEV" connection created using the JOB/BOJ pseudo-devices),
running an executable named "@", which looks for an executable (in the
DEVICE directory) that matches the user specified device, and runs
it...

There are "assigned numbers" for mit-ml-dev over UDP and TCP
(ports 83 and 85)!

I did find this:
http://victor.se/bjorn/its/ch11.php

Which simulates the CH11 (unibus) Chaosnet interface (presumably for
the KS10 simulation) under KLH10 and encapsulates chaosnet traffic in
UDP.

And mentions the magic file names involved!
