In short:
What is the path of least resistance to improve the terminal emulation and character 
display in my cygwin shell window or rxvt?

In long:
I use a commercial package for SSH called SecureCRT which comes with some fonts called 
"vt100" that have those nice ncurses line drawing characters in them.  It also has 
what I assume to be the equivalent of a termcap entry for "linux."  I am trying to get 
away from it however.

I tried to use 'rxvt -reverseVideo -fn "Terminal" -e bash' and run the ncurses-tests 
in /usr/bin/ncurses-test-dll/ and was unsatisfied with the results.  I tried several 
other fixed width fonts that were by default on my system.  I also tried just the 
regular cygwin.bat's terminal.

Perhaps someone has gotten cygwin shell or rxvt to emulate a linux terminal or xterm 
better before and can save me some headache?

Thank you.
-Roland
