I suggest to try with
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2157

1. Backup your twisted.internet._win32stdio.py and
   twisted.internet._pollingfile.py

2. Copy conio.py into twisted.internet and apply the patches
   _pollingfile.patch and _win32stdio.patch.

One problem is that the cursor/caret is not visible (and I don't know why).
On my PC, with Windows XP Pro SP2, it works without problems.
