[HECnet] HECnet bridge and tun/tap problems on Ubuntu 12.04 ...

[Bob Armstrong]

Recent simh versions no longer need any external program to work with tap
devices.   

Mark - 

  I was just looking at this.   Looks like in simh you now say

	attach xq tap:tap0

What does that do that 

	attach xq tap0

does not?   Does the first one make simh create the tap device?   That doesn't
really help in this case - the problem is that I need to run Johnny's bridge
on tap0 too, so it needs to already exist before I start simh.   tunctl is
still the only answer.

Thanks,
Bob
