The packages of OpenSSH for Windows (such as SSHWindows or COPSSH) include
a minimal installation of Cygwin too.

The easy way to fix this is to set the "TERM" environment variable to
something that is compatible and is on the server before invoking ssh, eg
C:\> set TERM=vt100
C:\> ssh yourserver

You can set it permanently through the control panel.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
