I was not aware of an Openssh developed by BSD. The program I used was Openssh for Windows. Here's the URL home page at Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshw...20-%20Release/
When I installed it a key was automatically generated. I followed the instructions for configuration that came with the program. I could shell into Linux from Windows but not into Windows from Linux, despite all attempts of configuration. I kept getting authentication failures no matter what I did. I thought about making a new password but said program did not come with that capability!
I prefer using SSH, not virtual networking stuff because I use a dial up internet connection. Using something like VNC would be so slow or nearly impossible. I don't need or want a GUI anyway.
In the interum I have found the page for Cygwin and have downloaded the setup program for that, I started it and some things there refreshed my memory. Nice to see it is still being developed. I'll have to wait until tonight to finish the setup because my dial up will take a long time even for the minimal packages I want to install. For what it's worth to some members here's the URL:

Thank you for your reply, unspawn.
