I prefer that the machines I log into work correctly with Cygwin ssh and
TERM=cygwin. Debian 3.1 is only slightly broken. My hosting provider uses an
internally customized distribution based on Slackware; Cygwin ssh is just one of
many issues.

I use Cygwin Bash.

Again, my preference is that the sshd host work correctly with the Cygwin ssh
client.
