Technically, this is not something about simh at all.
However, it is possible to do a workaround inside simh. But unless it is
already implemented (in which case I would expect there to be some
command or setting for it), you might need to modify the simh code to
work around the problem.
But bottom line is that the software you are running are expecting bytes
received over the serial port to have MARK parity, so you need to ensure
that you actually send data with MARK parity.
The workaround would be to fake that the data received on the serial
port have MARK parity by explicitly turning on the high bit on all
received characters.

You need to have your terminal set to MARK parity.

Looking at the code, it is looking for digits and then cr.
But it is actually looking for #215, which is 0x8d. Which is CR with
the high bit set. (It also looks for #377 del with HB set)
So what happens is that it just keeps reprompting
I don’t see how that character ever gets into the system. I did ‘set tti
8b’ but it made no difference. I can post the relevant code if needed.
