[HECnet] SIMH VAX config changes

Hi Paul, Thanks. Few emails on it. Tim Sneddon actually piped up with a similar round-up. I obviously had the wrong impression that the formal releases were the way to go given my experience as a developer rather than the ?hold my beer and watch this? ..check out from the trunk. *Chuckle* Okay. Well I?ve tried the trunk and it sort of works. I suspect the issue now (separate one) is with my hardware. For some reason the dedicated USB Ethernet adapter drops the odd packet or six.. %ping 10.0.0.100 PING 10.0.0.100 (10.0.0.100) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.0.0.100: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=14.6 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.100: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=18.1 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.100: icmp_seq=15 ttl=64 time=16.6 ms 64 bytes from 10.0.0.100: icmp_seq=42 ttl=64 time=13.4 ms ^C --- 10.0.0.100 ping statistics --- 47 packets transmitted, 4 received, 91% packet loss, time 47010ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.470/15.723/18.189/1.815 ms % At least ?some? data is flowing. :> Al.

That sounds very old. I don't know if there are formal releases of SIMH any longer. It's on Github. There's been a lot of work ongoing, it may well be that the trouble you saw has been fixed. In any case, it's more likely you can get effective help if you run the current code. I use the pdp11 emulator with pcap and it works well.
