    I guess you mean the Tramp manual.

    "sshx" is like "ssh" except it uses twice the -t parameter calling
    Cygwin's ssh. That is reported to have worked in the past, but with
    recent Cygwin it doesn't work. Last time I've checked half a year ago,
    I doubt it has changed.

It didn't work for me either (also about a year ago).
