g_serial would not be ssh though. As you most definitely know.. I was actually gong to suggest that he use g_serial( or whatever the g_multi equivalent is ). It's mostly foolproof, once one knows how to setup puTTY for it.
By the way, puTTY defaults to XON/XOFF COMs I think, and between windows and puTTY they're almost never the same. Until made so. So, check device manager to see what windows has set for the serial device, and just make sure puTTY is exactly the same.
