Will simh fit on a floppy? Surely the disk images won't.

If you are not running a normal telnet daemon, I wonder if you could
tell
simh to take port 20(? telnet's normal port)
It would probably be ok just to have simh use the console port, or to
have it
start with screen in the background ( KB0: would then be "secure"
behind a root login )
Hmmm, fun.
