[HECnet] Connections?

[dwe-6006 at philtest.org]

OP here, if both the host and the SIMH guest are listening for SSH traffic on the same interface / IP address then only one of them is going to make the connection. Since the SIMH guest is the last to register, it gets the traffic.

No. That is not correct. I run simh myself on a machine where I have both the native host and simh talking on the same ethernet. And they are both reachable by other hosts.
The OP must be doing something else funny.
