There are two Usenet newsgroups that are particularly relevant to the

PuTTY tools:
|

\b \W{news:comp.security.ssh}\c{comp.security.ssh}, for questions

specific to using the SSH protocol;

\b \W{news:comp.terminals}\c{comp.terminals}, for issues relating to

terminal emulation (for instance, keyboard problems).
