Did you try rerouting the output thru what's called a FIFO? It's similar to
a pipe (|) from the command line, but it's linked into the filesystem. The
only caveat that I remember (I've not used them much) is they're only one
way, so you'll need two pipes for 2-way communication. Gee, think you could
spare a couple of inodes??? ;-P
Here's a good page about 'em:

Googling for "linux FIFO" brings many others... ;-)

Isn't there a way to re-route the serial port to 'console' invisibly in
Linux? I *thought* there was, but I've never done it...
Maybe this would help...

Anyway, I hope it helps, but I've never run simh, so I don't know the
particulars of it...
Laterz!
