[h-e-w] 'emacs -nw' works but 'emacsclient -nw' doesn't on cygwin terminal

[aputerguy]

I am using the official (not cygwin) version of ntemacs 23
[ntemacs23-bin-20090923.exe].

Running from a cygwin 1.7 bash terminal:
$ emacs -nw
<opens up terminal-based emacs session in current cygwin terminal>

$emacsclient -nw 
*ERROR*: Not using an ASCII terminal now; cannot make a new ASCII frame

$echo $TERM
cygwin

Running from within screen within cygwin:
$ emacs -nw
emacs: standard input is not a tty

$ emacsclient -nw
*ERROR*: Not using an ASCII terminal now; cannot make a new ASCII frame

$ echo $TERM
screen

SO...
1. Why is emacsclient -nw fails within a cygwin terminal while emacs -nw
works?
2. Why do *neither* of them work within screen?
