Cygwin's default (and best supported) terminal setting is 'cygwin'.  Sorry,
I know next to nothing about VMS so I can't direct you further on how to
make the target VMS machine understand the 'cygwin' terminal settings.
But this information should help guide you to a line of research which
will offer a solution I hope.
