Emacs on Windows + SSH: subshell spurios characters?

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to connect via SSH to a remote shell, using Emacs on Windows XP. I'm currently using Putty, but I'd like to switch to Emacs.

I can't find a way which works right. The best I've achieved is running Plink (command line version of Putty) as a subshell, but I'm still getting spurious characters and duplicated prompts like this:

Last login: Fri Jun 18 11:09:11 2010 from XXXXX
^]0;root@XXXXX:~^[root@XXXXX ~]# ls
ls
file-1.cfg              file-10.log         file-100.pcap
^]0;root@XXXXX:~^[root@XXXXX ~]# 
^]0;root@XXXXX:~^[root@XXXXX ~]# 

I guess those sequences with a "^" prefix are escape characters, but I can't find a way to get them translated, or to get rid of them. I've tried this:

(autoload 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on "ansi-color" nil t)
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
(let ((explicit-shell-file-name "C:/Programmi/Putty/plink")
      (explicit-plink-args '("root@XXXXX")))
    (shell))

Any hint? Have you got a way to run a Secure Shell inside a native Windows version of Emacs?

Software: GNU Emacs 23.1.1, plink.exe version 0.60, Windows XP SP3

Thanks.
