Installing Cygwin (a Linux emulation) under Windows appears to add some 
VT-100 support but without an easy way to find documentation on whether
it can support 32 of them or not.

I used to work on a VAX 11/780 and also a VAX 8600.

Cygwin has a version of Python available, in case you're interested.
