emacs: standard input is not a tty


Greetings,

I've got cygwin-b20.1 (full.exe) and nt-emacs 20.3.3.1 (aka 20.4
pretest) running on NT SP4.

How can I get "emacs -nw" to work in a bash (cygnus.bat) shell?  It
works fine in the NT Command Prompt (cmd.exe).  In bash, emacs
complains that "standard input is not a tty".  I've tried

	SET CYGWIN=tty

in cygnus.bat, but to no effect.  Any suggestions?

(The eventual plan is to use Sergey Okhapkin's remote.tar, with inetd
running as a service for telnetd.  Then I can telnet into my NT
workstation and run emacs there in character mode.  Has anyone else
done this successfully?)

This has come up before on the gnu-win32 list, but I found no solution
posted.  Any suggestions?  I would *really* like to be able to run
nt-emacs from a remote telnet session.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
David
