-\i{Plink} (PuTTY Link), is a command-line connection tool similar to
-UNIX \c{ssh}. It is probably not what you want if you want to run an
-interactive session in a console window.

You also need to arrange to be able to connect to a remote host
without a password. To do this, either:
-\b Run PuTTY, and create a PuTTY saved session (see \k{config-saving})
-with the protocol set to SSH (see \k{config-hostname}) and specifies
-your private key file (see \k{config-auth}). You will probably also
-want to specify a username to log in as (see \k{config-username}).
-You should then be able to run CVS as follows:
