To followup my own post...

Apparently it was my POS computer that was the problem. I just got a 2GHz
Vaio laptop, and I've been using dynamic port forwarding through Cygwin's
SSH for a couple hours now without any connection degradation. (Another
factor could be that the old computer was running Win98, and the laptop is
running XP Pro.) Either way, problem solved.

Simon, I couldn't get dynamic port forwarding to work on the Putty build I
downloaded the day you posted, but thanks for the suggestion.
