SIMH lets you put the console on a telnet session so a single user can access any OS that does console I/O over the network. Not as good as TCP/IP in the OS. Harti's p11 PDP-11 emulator is the very best for running 2.11BSD with TCP/IP http://people.freebsd.org/~harti/ When the CPU is running the idle loop p11 suspends so no wasted CPU.
