You know... somehow I feel the right solution to this would be a two-ended
loopback interface instead of hacking some Ethernet interface. Sort of a
network device version of socketpair().

Even better (in terms of work to invest): Teach simh (does it simulate
the network interface in software?) use /dev/tun and connect the
hosting OS to tun0. But I guess this won't work because simh wants to
talk to layer 2 .
