I agree with everything Mark said. (Particularly installing libpcap-dev...)
I'm running a simh VAX 8650 on Debian stretch (although nothing has changed
appreciably of late except maybe systemd); here are some additional
operational notes that you might or might not find useful -- these are about

Joshua,
PLEASE consider Scott's configuration as advanced configuration details
that you may want to deploy when you are polishing up what you're putting
together. DO NOT start with this stuff. Start with basic pcap networking
and migrate your existing system environment to a simh instance and
I have always found the tap+bridge style easier than pcap. It works just as you
would expect a separate computer to work. With pcap I was never sure what
happened when talking to the local computer.
Bridged virtual interfaces is what you use for other virtual machines, why not
simh?

Once you’ve got the network structure setup the simh commands are certainly
simple and it works (at least for Wired Ethernet).

Wait, so you think it's easier to have to setup the bridge, and all
associated activities to that, and then setup the interface in simh,
compared to just setup the interface in simh?
How do you figure that?

Linux has the EXTREME annoyance that once you connect an interface to a
bridge, it stops being usable as an "internet endpoint". In other words,

Hi,
I am a networking guy and the Linux way seems more natural to me. First there
is a bridge. That bridge bridges some interfaces, one of which may be the local
os.
Nowadays it is all VMs anyway, and all interfaces are bridges to connect
/disconnect the VMs on the fly. Same as simh.
