But it's not a problem with PuTTY, it's a problem with Windows networking
subsystem. Once you remove cable, the whole interface immediately goes down,
IP address gets deconfigured, and all open sockets using the address get
closed. (I was bitten in the ass by this when I had several Windows Server
machines under my care.)
You'll get exactly the same with any other long running TCP connection.
