It doesn't seem to be shipped with the NTemacs I am using:
GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO

Instead, I downloaded tramp-2.1.3.tar.gz and built and installed it
using Cygwin development tools, and added this to my ~/.emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/emacs-21.3/tramp/share/emacs/site-lisp")
(require 'tramp)

It looks promising, only I can't quite get it to work...

Does anyone here have TRAMP and NTemacs working together?

I found this post: http://tinyurl.com/damqf in which Tom Roche claims
to have it working, however the detailed instructions (on his home
page) are inaccessible: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~tlroche/plinkTramp.html

Unfortunately my only options are FTP & rlogin, but rlogin is
supported by Tramp so I am still hopeful.

That's my first impression too.
