The simh Current version at https://github.com/simh/simh can connect simulated serial port to a physical serial port on the host system. Linux packaged simh versions are some 8 years old and don't have that functionality. $ git clone https://github.com/simh/simh $ cd simh $ make pdp11 A simh simulator accessing the host system's serial ports on Linux either requires running as root or changing the permissions on the serial port device(s) in /dev - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
