Now I've got another problem. The TOPS-10 node goes yo-yo:

It's outside tops10, I guess, and I'm completely lost there. If my
braincells starts to work I will rember how to log all the DECnet
packets on the -10 side.

Its fixed now. I'm running the PDP-10's in a virtualbox VM, and I'm using a
virtualbox feature that allows to cap the %CPU of the host CPU the VM can use. If I cap it
to under 40% the virtual ethernet devices begin to drop packets and the yo-yoing begins.
Curiously, TOPS-20 is more resilient and, although I see its ethernet dropping as much
packets as the TOPS-10 one it does not drop itself from the network...
KLH10 does not seem to have an idle loop detection like SIMH does. The Panda TOPS-20 uses
some sort of virtual device to make the host aware if it is idling, but the regular
TOPS-10 monitor does not, so it's using the 100% of the CPU time of the host
virtualbox machine. So if I don't cap it it ends topping one of the cores of the
"real" host machine. And the it gets hot :)
