One option is to enable the telnet console. That way you can connect
to the console with a regular terminal emulator (like PuTTY) instead
of using cmd.exe.

Just add
SET CONSOLE TELNET=1234
to your configuration file. You can change 1234 to whatever port you
want to use, then connect to the host machine's IP address/DNS host
name at that port with a terminal emulator and everything should work.

Hope this helps,
