Recommended Settings for PuTTY
Installing
PuTTY can be downloaded directly from the author's web site http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ or from one of the Premvet Utility CD's (in the 'apps' folder).
Follow the download instructions if using the web, with the copy on the CD just double click it - the Install Wizard will startup - accept all the defaults.
These are the initial settings to get you running. You can fine tune these as needed.
Please remember you CANNOT use the Windows Integration Options
