Hi there, thx for the instructions.
I set the port to 15000 like you did in your simh configuration
connected via telnet to the vms machine and opened a
second terminal to connect to the machine via telnet on port
15000. Then i opened kermit and set it to server mode.

On a third terminal - on ubuntu i opened ckermit, turned
negociation off and set the port to 15000. Prompt appears
and I can type in commands, but no command seems to
show any affect, even "BYE" isnt responding or closing the
connection.

What am I missing here?

best regards
