First, I should say that my knowledge of RSTS/E is limited to a half day
of trying it out. I appreciate your telling me that you don't know
anything about this particular device either. It may seem insignificant,
but it helps me categorize things as I learn to know if I should know it
or it is actually obscure.
As of RSTS V9.0, if memory serves, terminal configuration is no longer set
during Sysgen. Instead, the monitor contains drivers for each supported
terminal interface, and these are loaded at startup according to what hardware
was found.
This was really good to learn. I was concerned that sysgen had so few
devices to configure.
When you boot the system (at the "Start timesharing" prompt) enter "hardware
list" to confirm that the DZ11s were indeed seen:

Hardware list is a brilliant tip. I see the DZ device in my list, good news.
Next... I don't know why you expected telnet ports 10001-10007 to be active
when you attached 10001. The attach command sets up just that TCP port number
as one SIMH listens to, serving all the mux ports behind it. So you should be
able to telnet to the port you specified multiple times, and when you do, SIMH
should tell you that you're now connected to some port:
You are correct, of course. I originally confirmed 10001, but assumed
the others (I know, bad idea at this stage, assumptions...). Multiple
connections can be made to 10001. I learned something new again.

The other point to remember is that RSTS expects to do auto baud on all ports
other than 0, in the standard setup at least. So you need to enter RETURN
twice before you get the login prompt.
This was the key. I only hit RETURN once to check, not twice. After
hitting enter twice, it worked like a champ.
Thanks for the help!
