[Simh] Windows8

[Kevin Handy]

I want to get simh (vax vms) running on a Windows8 machine. I don't have
much experience with Windows8.

I have simh installed, everything configured, and it will boot to a user
login prompt.

However, there are a lot of problems.
1. Terminal is awful. No VT emulation at all. I set up the Dz to port 4000,
(ATT DZ 4000)  and have tried to attach to it using Kermit95, but it can't.
I need to have a VT terminal emulation to be able to run my programs.
2. Whenever I try to start up networking withing VMS (decnet or tcpip), it
completely locks up. It hangs when it accesses the network interface.
Control/E does nothing at that pont. Letting it sit for a while does
nothing.

The Windows machine can access the internet. I have installed  WinPCAP
Versio 4.31.3 (latest version). Attached is a startup script close to what
I'm using (modified on win8 machine to have c:/simh/ where appropriate)

Is there some documentation on getting simh working on Windows8 somewhere?
It's useless without being able to attach a VT terminal emulator to it
somehow.
