It s not exactly a DEC problem, but I know there are several people on HECnet running
simh under Linux and I m hoping somebody has already figured this one out.
I used to run simh (vax and pdp11 both) under Ubuntu 10.04 using Johnny s bridge
program and a tap device to connect to HECnet.
sudo tunctl -t tap0
sudo ifconfig tap0 up
sudo -b /usr/local/bin/hecnet-bridge 4711
the bridge.conf file (I ll post it if anybody wants) bridges tap0 with
Psilo.update.uu.se and in simh I would say
set xqb enabled
attach xqb tap0
and it worked great. Everybody was happy :-)
BUT, now I ve upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 (Ok, I m not an early adopter!) and, as you
might guess, it doesn t work anymore. No errors and the tap0 device looks OK
bob at falsetto:~/legato$ ifconfig tap0
tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr c6:36:37:eb:16:7a

but nothing ever happens. No data seems to pass between the bridge program and simh.
Is anybody else using Ubuntu? Did you run into this problem? Thanks,
Bob
Try setting the interfaces promiscuous.
