Paul Koning set me straight on figuring out that DZ, as configured, was

all is right in the world. The other devices might work too, but since DZ
worked, I'm happy.
Thanks for responding.

Oh. And one other thing. Not only do you have to press enter twice, for BAUD
rate, but the main console session has be be started and timesharing/system
startup has to be finished before you can attach another telnet session. I
think this may have been the problem I was having originally rather than the
BAUD rate. I had started the telnet session and booted the disk, but I hadn't
started timesharing, when I fired up telnet on port 10001.
That makes sense. Until you've started timesharing, you're in a program called
INIT, which is essentially the RSTS OS loader. It's a standalone program that
talks only to the console, as well as the disks on which RSTS lives (and, in
limited ways, the tape drives for accessing RSTS kit tapes). None of the
other terminal lines are enabled at that time.
If you say "Start" for "start timesharing" (instead of just entering Return or
"Yes") it does a somewhat more verbose startup which tells you about each controller that's
disabled because it's not visible.
If I read Will right, it does not make sense. Yes, you will not get any
response until timesharing have started, but you should be able to
telnet into the port as soon as simh has started. And once timesharing
is running, you should be able to get a response. I don't think there is
any reason why you would have to have even doing the telnet until
timesharing have started. I know that you don't have to wait under RSX.
