For those with limited computing experience, probably best to set it up so it connects directly to the system in question, as the default is the "select a connection" screen which is a bit hard for anyone to navigate due to all the options. You use PUTTY to fix Windows, or something like that. Cygwin provides common Linux / Unix utilities to Windows users. A version of "ssh" from the command line, a lot to install for just a ssh client, but much of the rest is very useful. The default Windows terminal emulator use to be terrible, so I've always install Teraterm or PUTTY, I think they updated it for Windows 2000, but I couldn't wait till the year 2000 for a decent dumb terminal emulator. I haven't tried SSH on Teraterm. There are a lot of talk, chat and bulletin board products available for Linux, but many do far too much, or are difficult to use, or complex to set up, or both. "write" is simple, splats all over what you are doing, and can be disabled if you need to concentrate. The various talk packages are also quite good in this regard, let us know how you get on with the split screen mode.
