Again, you don't need to. Just configure IP as usual using an emulated
Ethernet card. E.g. add to the SIMH configuration:
set xq mac=01-02-03-04-05-06
at xq0 eth0
Then boot as usual. When the system comes up, it will recognize an ethernet
card that you can configure as you want. E.g. on boot a message
qe0: delqa, hardware address 01:02:03:04:05:06
will appear in the system log, and you can use a /etc/netstart script like
the one that follows to configure the net:
[skip]
I have no SPARE address. And this thing entirely should be avoided there
for 2 reasons
1. This is colocated host, ISP has a policy on no MAC address/IP address
tweaking. Non-standard services are too expensive and should be avoided at
all costs.
2. This is not dedicated box, hosting email services and www. Not loaded,
but critical in sence, that services should work.

Which is to say, may be you will be better off using Ultrix-3.1, which BTW
also includes vi, more and much more... In this case just edit the /etc/rc
file to set the appropriate parameters to ifconfig and default route.
I think about emulating all these systems because of educational nature of
the project.., Also, maybe free shells for people :)
