Limited remote terminal access via cygwin


I'm setting-up headless Linux/SAMBA servers for use in Windows office
networks which I want to admin from Windows via Cygwin. When I 'ssh' into
the Linux box from Cygwin I only have limited terminal access. When I try to
launch emacs on the remote machine I get the response:

emacs: Terminal type cygwin is not defined.

When I examine files using 'less' I also receive the message:

WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

With 'less' the Cygwin/Windows terminal only displays a fixed % of the file
examined and will not scroll to the end.

My Cygwin environment settings are:

ntsec check_case:strict tty
