Subject: Re: [Simh] rsx problem
Since the terminal window isn't start automatically, you should perform
the suggested telnet command from another window manually BEFORE you
follow the instructions about entering a boot command!!!!
Seems like I need to add frame buffer and windowing support as well as a
windowing system to my host system.
No, telnet doesn't need any of that. Just replace "another window" in the
advice above with "another shell." After you've started SIMH go to wherever
you can find another command prompt on your system and perform the suggested
telnet command before entering a boot command. If you're starting SIMH at a
Linux virtual console you could use a second virtual console to perform the
telnet command. Or you could use something like GNU screen.
Why are people making things so complicated???
simh is started in a shell. If you don't assign the console port to a
telnet port, you'll have it in the same window as you started simh. No
need to make things so complicated in the beginning. Jeez.
