Undoubtedly, it would be helpful if each simulated machine had a built-in
terminal emulator pertinent to that machine. Your suggestion would be a
useful addition to the DEC console simulator.
Terminals, being generally machine-specific though, typically would be of
little use to other systems. The HP 264x-series of terminals were very
popular on 1980s HP systems, but their command sets were utterly different
from the VT or ADM terminals and hence of very limited use on DEC systems
(and vice versa).
