Connecting SIMH to teletype via USB

[Charles]

I'm using a slightly older SIMH and user's guide (3.8 something). This SIMH 
will not allow Set Console Serial, apparently (No settable parameter
I only found the suggestion for Telnet in my user guide, so I did Set 
Console Telnet:23. It does accept that.

So now I was just trying to use Tera Term which defaults to port 23... Is it 
even possible to run Tera Term in one window and SIMH in another, and have 
them connect via Telnet if on the same laptop?
Before I start messing with the actual hardware (USB converter and TTY)?
thanks
Charles

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).

Does the above also give this error?
