Introduction

In order to run clicol under Windows, you need to install Cygwin. Cygwin will run ssh, telnet and clicol. If you want to use terminal other than builtin mintty you may install PuTTYCyg. If you would like to use other than these like SecureCRT then you have to run sshd in Cygwin. This sshd should bind to localhost on non-privileged port. SecureCRT will connect to this Cygwin shell via loopback interface and you can use the terminal as on linux. :) If you are using Windows as jump box, you may even install sshd as service! You may follow this link how to do it: SSH on Cygwin howto

Initially you will need admin privilege level to install cygwin but after that, you should not use it as admin! You may not want to use admin rights to install ssh and you do not need it actually! Just skip steps where it would require admin rights! In this case you have to start sshd manually after setting up the server and user part.
