Zane,

Thanks for your reply.  The closest I ever came to these operating systems on 
actual PDP-10s was via CompuServe in around 1980 to 1982.  So V4.1 is 
contemporary with that era, I believe.  But mainly I was trying to stick with 
simh.  I’ve never tried KLH10 and so nothing against it .. I was just trying to 
stay loyal ..

I did install the pcap and other networking bits .. and have done that before 
when running the VAX on simh.

I tried V7 and that’s when I realized it doesn’t run on simh.  Unless I’m 
wrong.  But I’m assuming V7 is going to have the most fully developed 
networking for using in a modern smh environment ..
