Ersatz-11 emulated network interfaces
As with other classes of devices, Ersatz-11 uses a device-independent interface
to attach any supported PC network interface type as the physical side of any
supported PDP-11 network interface type. Each interface is created using a
one-line ASSIGN command in the E11.INI initialization text file. E11 can
optionally perform filtering based on Ethernet protocol numbers so that the
PDP-11 operating system will not be swamped by broadcast traffic intended for
other systems. Note that while real PDP-11 network interfaces were limited to
10 MBPS Ethernet, E11 will work with the newer high-speed Ethernet interfaces.
- Physical PC network interfaces: (E11 for DOS)
-
- Any Ethernet interface with a
packet
driver
- Via Velocity-based PCI Ethernet cards
- RealTek RTL8169-based PCI Ethernet cards
- RealTek RTL8139-based PCI Ethernet cards
- AMD PCnet-PCI-based PCI Ethernet cards
- DEC Tulip-based PCI Ethernet cards
- NE2000 clones, ISA or PCI (built-in driver)
- Point-to-point Internet using UDP tunneling
- Physical PC network interfaces: (E11 for Win32)
-
- Any Ethernet (or Ethernet-like) interface supported by Windows
- Point-to-point Internet using UDP tunneling
E11 needs the (free) WinPcap package
to perform raw Ethernet I/O
- Physical PC network interfaces: (E11 for Linux)
-
- Any Ethernet (or Ethernet-like) interface supported by Linux
- Point-to-point Internet using UDP tunneling
E11's network driver requires version 2.2 or later of the Linux kernel
