Hmm, wasnt there a switch ("att -m dz0" comes to mind) you had to use
to change SimH's default behavior w.r.t. carrier detection? Basically,
although the connection works (you got the Telnet banner), the DZ11
does not report a valid carrier-detect signal to RSTS, meaning it
wont fire up a new terminal session.

I had the same problem in Ultrix-11 when this feature was first
present in SimH.
