My primary objective is connecting KA10 ITS to the internet. Can the IMP software and the H316 simulator talk TCP/IP to an ehernet card?

Maybe something like this? Simulated host -> IMP interface -> 1822 API -> emulated IMP -> sim_ether. Looks like SIMH doesn't provide anything to do ARP, so I'll have to do that too. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
