Now, back to RSTS/E discussion.
So I thought i'd try out Ersatz-11 instead of simh. I've gotten RSTS/E + DECnet installed alright, and it attaches to the interface fine and it seems to work better. But every time I try to SET HOST I get some variation of:
Event type 5.15, Receive failed
Occurred 22-Oct-25 13:36:28.1 on node 33.306 (GEWT1)
Line UNA-0
Failure reason =Unrecognized frame destination
Ethernet header = AA0004003285 3C075443A176 0800
and Event type 0.0, Event records lost

Any ideas?

Looks like you're trying to access your host from an emulator which couldn't set correct mac address.
Are you using (Apple?) WiFi adapter?
... or simh incorrectly built for BSD/OSX   

I'm connected to the host e11 is running on from a mac over ssh. And the source MAC address matches the mac.

This is weird.

Ah, I see what happens. E11 rewrites the host's mac address, which results in SSH packets from the remote system getting sent to the emulated machine, which as it doesn't support SSH, it complains. ;)
