New subject: [pups] Boot_Images and the networking activated version of Simh

29 Nov 2002

People,

DO note that the Ethernet operations of SimH heavily depend on the proper
workings AND configuration of a Packet Filter driver for your platform,
so, something like BPF, EFILT, NetFLT or WinPCAP (for Win32).  Try running
a test app for that stuff BEFORE trying to run SimH/ENET stuff.. if the
test app works OK, you can start figuring out why SimH/ENET doesn't work
on your system.

I have *three* network cards the drivers of which DO NOT support promisc
mode.  Which obviously results in WinPCAP (they're PCI cards under Win2K)
not functioning properly, and, thus, same for SimH/ENET.

  Hello from Gregg C Levine
 Just out of curiosity, can the boot images stored in the   folders that
  are under that name, actually support this new
version of   Simh? That is
  the PDP-11 emulator. What would be necessary to
enable that   function? It
  looks as if one of them, is aware of the device,
since I believe the
 image was made on a machine which has the appropriate card   installed in
  it, but after that I'm lost.  
 I would be happy to share mine, but it doesn't work.  ;-)

 The thing that strikes me as really weird is that I know a guy who is
 running VMS with networking on the simh VAX emulator.  As I 
 understand it,
 the the VAX and PDP-11 emulators use the same code for the ethernet
 controller.
