It says "PuTTY is a client program for the SSH, Telnet and Rlogin 
network protocols". I don't get it. In Cygwin you have all of ssh, 
telnet and rlogin/rsh. That being the case why install/use putty or plink?

BTW, you're probably is probably the same if you used ssh in Cygwin - 
once you remote login Unix based tools such as ssh (and probably putty 
and plink) use ptys which Windows console programs don't understand, and 
often stdout is lost. If you want that one fixed you'll have to talk to 
Mr. Gates.
