Putty should be flexible, right?

So I'm here in Sorrento, Italy at our dev conference and struggling mightily to get a good clone of the 5.1 repository on my box.  You see I'm using BitKeeper with plink (ala Putty) as the SSH tunnel.  The wireless connection on my Inspiron 6000  keeps going down and coming back up and this is something that plink simply can't stand. 

So I installed OpenSSH for Windows (yes the abandoned project that is sort of being maintained).  Worked first time.  Apparently the stock ssh client that comes with cygwin (and therefore with OpenSSH for Windows) is much more tolerant of unstable network connections.
