What > is happening? Not QUITE, it's looking for a DLL called "packet" For some reason the binaries of VAX.EXE (and probably PDP11.EXE) are looking for the "packet" file WITHOUT the .DLL suffix. If you dump the VAX.EXE with your favourite HEX dump program, and then search for ".dll" you'll see a reference to WSOCK32.DLL, then WPCAP.DLL, but in between these is one for just plain old "packet" (minus the .dll suffix). Go back and look at an old build of SIMH and you'll see it has these but "packet.dll" The easiest work-around is to copy PACKET.DLL from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM into your SIMH directory and rename it from PACKET.DLL to PACKET That'll get you going, though we really need a proper build put onto the SIMH web site. I suspect someone goofed up when specifying the C compiler dependence on the packet driver.
