This is an often misunderstood generalization, with some people able and
others not. I remember this being true on *BSD. You could not connect to a
simulated IP on the same host. It *used* to also be true on Linux, but is
no longer the case for some time. On my ubuntu server where I run dynamips,
simh, and klh10, all on bridged taps, I can telnet to all instances, even
locally.

Actually I think it?s a limitation in simh and the pcap library ? the
simh guest OS can?t talk to the host OS on the same interface. You can
work around the problem with a TAP device. Check the archives for the
simh mailing list ? it?s been discussed many times before.
No. That is not correct. I run simh myself on a machine where I have
both the native host and simh talking on the same ethernet. And they are
both reachable by other hosts.
The OP must be doing something else funny.
