You can run a VT340 emulator on a PC in full screen mode and it will appear
for all intents and purposes as a terminal that accepts a PS/2 keyboard.
However, no the VT525 is _not_ a graphics terminal according the
manufacturer (www.boundless.com) Boundless bought all of the VT rights from
DEC when they exited the terminal business.

So I think you are stuck using a VT340 (or VT340+) if you want a "terminal"
with color ReGIS or Sixel graphics.
