What about uwin on the NT box?  I've not tried this, but here's a little 
blurb from the uwin docs:

inet Daemons and commands:
UWIN 3.1 comes with the UCB inet daemon, the telnet daemon, the rlogin 
daemon, and the rsh daemon. It also includes the telnet, ftp, rsh, and 
rlogin programs. The ssh daemon and program can be built from the source 
but is not included because of possible export restrictions.

So, you've got a ssh daemon running.  Telnet if it's a protected 
network.  So you run expect on your Linux box, invoking ksh (it comes 
with uwin too) via login????
