Turning of SIMH cpu idle and not nicing simh down if it is niced down may be worth a shot
too

Hi all
I've moved my SIMH VAXen to a new host with a new version of SIMH (the current 3.11
that I found - is there a newer version?)
3.11 would suggest you are sticking to Bobs development. There is also the
"fork" by Mark. Not sure which, if either, is better...
Main host runs Devuan Linux (yes, I'm a
systemd hater). VirtualBox VM hosts the SIMH instance, also running Devuan Linux.
systemd needs to die.
My area router, FRUGAL, boots fine and gets
adjacency with my Multinet-over-IP connections, that is, LEGATO, MIM, and 31.3:: as well
as other DECNet hosts (MISER, CHEAP)
However, the connection from FRUGAL "flaps" (going up and down) quite a bit
with local DECNet hosts as well as the ip-connection to 31.3::
I've tried eliminating the connection to 31.3:: as the culprit by turning off the
circuit, and the connection between FRUGAL:: and MISER:: (both local nodes) continues to
go up and down every few minutes.
I'd welcome some pointers, things to check, etc. Is there such a thing as an
adjacency timer perhaps I could crank up a bit?
You could crank up the hello timer on the circuit, but I'm not sure you'll be
much happier with that.
Sounds like you might have some issues with how it performs on the ethernet. Hard to tell
much without more investigation...
