Wow, Interix! I gave up on Interix quite a while ago but I can confirm a similar issue, running NTEmacs but using ssh and friends built using MinGW/MSYS. I was never able to get interactive ssh to work correctly in an Emacs shell window (using MSYS bash as the command shell) -- it hung as AKF_SDS described.
I did get bash to work fairly smoothly for almost everything else (including correct file name completion); I can offer a few hints on that subject if anyone is interested.
