+\S{config-nodelay} \q{Disable Nagle's algorithm}
+
+Nagle's algorithm is a detail of TCP/IP implementations that tries
+to minimise the number of small data packets sent down a network
+connection. With Nagle's algorithm enabled, PuTTY's bandwidth usage
+will be slightly more efficient; with it disabled, you may find you
+get a faster response to your keystrokes when connecting to some
+types of server.
+
+The Nagle algorithm is disabled by default.

+Single-DES is not supported natively in the SSH 2 draft protocol
+standards. One or two server implementations do support it, by a
+non-standard name. PuTTY can use single-DES to interoperate with
+these servers if you enable the \q{Enable non-standard single-DES in
+SSH 2} option; by default this is disabled and PuTTY will stick to
+the standard.

+\S{config-ssh-tis} \q{Attempt keyboard-interactive authentication}
+
+The SSH 2 equivalent of TIS authentication is called
+\q{keyboard-interactive}. It is a flexible authentication method
+using an arbitrary sequence of requests and responses; so it is not
+only useful for challenge/response mechanisms such as S/Key, but it
+can also be used for (for example) asking the user for a new
+password when the old one has expired.
+
+PuTTY leaves this option enabled by default, but supplies a switch
+to turn it off in case you should have trouble with it.
