Well, but it is quite a resource hog comparing to V7.
So there are questions: is there vi for V7? I heard 1BSD, as set of
patches/software for V7, contains one, but I might be wrong...
Also, as for simh and Quasijarus:
Is it possible to run simh using tap or other virtual interface to forward
some
ports to Quazijarus's services?
The machine, I'll host this stuff on will be on colocation and policy
there is no MAC address changes and no promisceous mode interfaces and no
additional ethernet cards...
If that will work, I'll go write socket redirector program (to get free
consoles from one port using simh) :)
Also are there any ppp/slip software for V7 and 4.3BSD?
This way a problem could be solved other way around...
The best could be have vi under V7 also.
Does V7 support several serial lines to put getty on? Does simh provide
such a hardware for it?

As was pointed out, you dont get tcp/ip with v5/6/7.
4.2BSD does not run on the simh hardware, although you can
get quasijarus (4.3BSD) to run. > Additional thing I need is vi, any emulator

You can run vi in quasijarus. - many users sharing the same instance:
there's only one copy of
the system and everybody logs-in on it, saves space, but takes more work.
You can't do this with v5/v6/v7 (at least with the pdp-11) since they
dont support the multi-serial card that simh emulates. You only
get the console (which you can access over telnet if you configure
it so).
I don't remember if you can use the interdata32 port with multiple
ttys.
Will check that soon.
You can do this in quasijarus just fine, or even just run telnetd
on the emulated system itself.
I can't have dedicated ethernet card for it :(
Thanks a lot!!!
