Yes, you can see lots of examples here:

Yes, but it's always harder to make a connection TO Windows than FROM Windows,
because Windows, unlike VMS or UNIX, is not designed to accept logins from
outside. But it can be done.
The first question is: What kind of connection are you making from VMS to
Windows? Direct serial, dialed, Telnet, ...?
