At the risk of sounding redundant, did you make sure you recompiled simh
AFTER upgrading OSX?

I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Mini this afternoon (no snide comments
please), and it seems to have broken something in libpcap such simh
networking no longer works. I've tried a few obvious things to no avail.
So my normal emulated router ROOSTA is down at the moment. I've booted up
the real VAX called Zarqon to keep the network running and it should be OK
for a while, or at least until I need to use that room for recordings.

Hello!
I actually wasn't going to yield to temptation as it happens. However
you might want to report the bug to Apple. That cat just came out this
week and there are sure as somebody made green apples going to be
bugs.
I'll need to spend some time diagnosing it properly if I'm to report it
to Apple, I suspect just telling them that "simh VAX network emulation
isn't working" wouldn't be a very well received bug report ;-) And it's
obviously more subtle that just a broken libpcap because my LAT software
(which also uses libpcap - though obviously slightly differently) works
perfectly, also I copied libpcap from my un-upgraded Mac to test simh,
and it's still broken on the new OS, which implies it's something that
has changed in the kernel.

Besides I know a specific snow leopard and that's his favorite......
