Using remote services (telnet,ssh) in Emacs 22

Using remote services (telnet,ssh) in Emacs 22

[Will]

Hi,

I'd like to use Emacs 22.1 with Windows XP to to work remotely with some 
servers via telnet, ssh etc. I've also installed telnet and openssh 
contained in cygwin. I am using the telnet.el library and some extension 
from http://www.khngai.com/emacs/cygwin.php.

However, I get the following error messages after entering M-x telnet 
RET <server>:
"Process telnet-<server> exited abnormally with code 255"

I have no problems accessing the server via telnet in the Cygwin shell 
without Emacs.

Who can help?

Thanks in advance,

Will

What are the values of 

telnet-host-properties 
telnet-program
What is in the communication buffer described in the telnet command
docstring?

Finally, if all you want to do is edit files remotely, then I'd recommend
using tramp, which is bundled with emacs 22.
