I have emacs-nox installed on a CentOS 6.5 server. I had been using PuTTY from Windows to remote into this server. However, I discovered that in emacs, I cannot hit Ctrl+A (somewhat like other combinations found here) because it is gobbled by PuTTY and doesn't make it to emacs.
My question is, is there a way to get PuTTY to work better? If not, what ssh client for Windows would allow me to remotely use emacs in CLI mode?
