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. -- My friend has a baby.
