Mark,

This is a VERY easy setup.   Start your SimH process from rc.local.   Be sure to put the
"&" at the end of the line.   I can send you what I have if need be.

Regards,

-Steve

  Security on BSD distributions is tight, you might need
to reduce the security policies on the system. Libpcap turns the ethernet device in
promiscuous mode and that may be considered harmful. 
Figures. You can only run SIMH with networking as root. Might explain it.

 "File not found" I think. Like it couldn't pick up the device.

 Re: Sharing a port, I don't need to talk to the host OS from the VAX emulation, I
just need to access both from a third host.

 I will have to compile libpcap from pkgsrc but that shouldn't be an issue unless pcap
needs to be present at compile time. If that is the case I just need to recompile SIMH so
again no big deal.

 FWIW, NetBSD is not a flavour of Linux either ;) ;)

 It's all good fun!
