\S{config-nodelay} \q{Disable Nagle's algorithm}
Nagle's algorithm is a detail of TCP/IP implementations that tries
to minimise the number of small data packets sent down a network
connection. With Nagle's algorithm enabled, PuTTY's bandwidth usage
will be slightly more efficient; with it disabled, you may find you
get a faster response to your keystrokes when connecting to some
types of server.
The Nagle algorithm is disabled by default.

Single-DES is not supported natively in the SSH 2 draft protocol
standards. One or two server implementations do support it, by a
non-standard name. PuTTY can use single-DES to interoperate with
these servers if you enable the \q{Enable non-standard single-DES in

the standard.

\S{config-ssh-tis} \q{Attempt keyboard-interactive authentication}
The SSH 2 equivalent of TIS authentication is called
\q{keyboard-interactive}. It is a flexible authentication method
using an arbitrary sequence of requests and responses; so it is not
only useful for challenge/response mechanisms such as S/Key, but it
can also be used for (for example) asking the user for a new
password when the old one has expired.
PuTTY leaves this option enabled by default, but supplies a switch
to turn it off in case you should have trouble with it.
