You might try other Windows ssh clients.  PuTTY and cygwin's port of OpenSSH
are possibilities.  In my experience, PuTTY does a better job rendering the
terminal.  I believe the cygwin port could be considered most compatible,
e.g. as regards certificates, etc.

Just for kicks, here's a Windows script to create on-demand ssh tunnels.  You
can insert a command="sleep 15m" option for the public certificate (in
authorized_keys) used to authenticate the tunnel, to render the cert otherwise
rather useless.

Of course I don't have to explain the value of tunneling telnet via ssh. ;)

@echo off
 
tlist | find /i "ssh" > %TEMP%\ssh.tmp
for /f "tokens=1-2*" %%i in (%TEMP%\ssh.tmp) do call :checkdup "%%j"
start /min e:\cygwin\bin\ssh -L 23:localhost:23 ausername at ahost
sleep 1
goto telnet
 
:checkdup
if /i %1=="ssh.exe" goto telnet
 
:telnet
del /q %TEMP%\ssh.tmp
telnet localhost
exit
 
:end
