You will be happy to know that recent versions of Joe Doupnik's MS-Kermit
program can emulate the Honeywell VIP7809 under MS-DOS and MS-Windows.

You can minimally obtain the program by anonymous FTP to
"kermit.columbia.edu", or use the World-Wide Web at this URL:

    http://www.cc.columbia.edu:80/kermit/

Since you seem to be just learning about how to use terminals, you
could well benefit from purchasing the book that fully describes the
MS-Kermit program and includes a floppy disk of the software.

The book provides a good general description of how all character-cell
video terminals work, for those needing an education in the background
of how things are supposed to work.

Here's how to get it.

  The English-language version:

updated with disks of the latest MS-Kermit version (3.14).  When
available, here is the place to obtain them.
