okay while in xwindows from xterm. But, when I try to ssh in from either obsd box to the windows box from a regular terminal window, I get in, but after that, the screen is blank. Only way to get the terminal window back is to exit

am coming up blank. Just trying to find out if anyone else has encountered this problem & what they did to solve it.
I have this problem with a freebsd shell provider. I fixed it intermidently by starting screen before sshing out. This filters out the garbage they output to my display. Explicitly exporting TERM as vt220 or wsvt25 before you ssh to the box may help as well. It didn't for me. My best guess is the cgywin box has one of those super-cool-eleet colored bash prompts. touch ~/.hushlogin and set PS1=$ in the winbox .profile. Setting PS1=$ and .hushlogin did not work for me, I requested the shell provider to add an if statement in the global profile to honor .hushlogin before printing out the stupid ansi colored news/motd/whatever it was they were doing.
Had another box running FreeBSD 5.4 with identical ttys set up and was able to login to the windows box from a terminal window okay. Thanks for any help.
As Stuart pointed out, the term code is different.
