Simply renaming net-misc/putty-0.59 worked for me. These features are new in beta 0.60 (released 2007-04-29): * Pressing Ctrl+Break now sends a serial break signal. * Serial ports higher than COM9 now no longer need a leading \\.\. * You can now store a host name in the Default Settings. * Bug fix: serial connections and local proxies should no longer crash all the time. * Bug fix: configuring the default connection type to serial should no longer cause the configuration dialog to be skipped on startup. * Bug fix: "Unable to read from standard input" should now not happen, or if it still does it should produce more detailed diagnostics. * Bug fix: fixed some malformed SSH-2 packet generation. * Other minor bug fixes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
