[nfbcs] Accessible UNIX / LINUX Help Request

Blaine, & All;

I thought that PuTTY would work on JAWS, but I cannot get it to read output 
to the terminal.
I am on Windows XP,  JAWS 13, and PuTTY v0.6.
I do not want to even try CygWIN installation on my NVDA machine-- any 
suggestions on which SSH client I SHOULD be using?

Thanks in advance--
Ian
