[Info-vax] Is SIMH on a Mac a viable option ?

Have been pondering migration options/process.

But in the end, I may still need access to VAX/VMS to run All-in-1 or
access some RMS file I forgot to convert etc etc.

How viable is SIMH on a 64 bit Intel Mac running OS-X ? Is this a large
project to setup and get working reliably ?

Does the SIMH instance get access to a virtualised ethernet device
(which could, for instancem pop DECterms onto a remote workstation).

This wouldn't be more for ensuring access to legacy data from time to
time as opposed to running it continually.

Where do I go to get SimH and is there sufficient documentation for it
to make it easy to setup ?
