Hello,

Following this thread, I did some playing around with PuTTY settings, and 
this setup is working for me : 

- in category "Session", use connection type = "raw" instead of telnet

- in category "Terminal", "Line discipline options", 
  set "Local echo" and "Local line editing" to "Force off"

I get some gibberish on the first line, before the message

Connected to the VAX simulator

but after that everything works fine!
all tests pass, VMS boots and  "set terminal" identifies it as a VT102...
