You need a font that has the DOS/OEM characters instead of the standard
codepage 1252 / ISO 8858-1 character set.  If you search around there is
a patched version of lucida console (called "lucida consoleP" or
luconP.zip) that has this.  You also need to set TERM (-tn) to
rxvt-cygwin-native I think.
