This is a little strong. I use Cygwin 'ssh' under Emacs a lot. What doesn't work is when ssh tries to prompt for a passphrase, or for other user input (like "do you want to save this host"). So I launch ssh-agent, do ssh-add, then launch emacs. I also do the first login to any machine outside Emacs; after that I can use ssh quite nicely under Emacs. It could be better, but it's functional. -- -- Stephe
