Actually, with Bochs, you can run any PC software you choose, on a multitude of architectures.  You could even layer it, running an x86 emulator on your system, running DOS on said emulator, then running a DOS-based VAX emulator on that virtual machine.

Probably it would all keep up very nicely with your ASR-33 teletype.
