You can enable a virtual DZ or VH serial adapter and attach it to a TCP 
port of the host machine. Then you can TELNET into your emulated vax 
using the designated port.

Put something like this in your simh-vax config file:

set vh enable
att vh 10027 


And then you will be able to TELNET localhost 10027. This is not full IP 
access, but at least you will be able to have several "sessions" at the 
same time.

Alternatively, I have the following lines commented out and the DZ 
disabled. I wrote the config file some time ago and I don't remember why 
did I prefer the VH to the DZ:

;set dz 7b
;set dz lines=4
;att dz0 10000
set dz disable

You can try both and see which one works better for you.
