Im just talking about the system console. Im simulating an HP2100 system using simh and for this the system console is on the simh console. Consequently, if I attach to the host computer using serial and then run up the HP2100 system, the system console is on the serial port. All the user terminals via the multiplexer are indeed on telenet, for which a terminal server, or something similar, would be needed to give serial i/o, but an ASR33 system console would be possible. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
