undo (C-/) for terminal version of emacs not working

C-/ is a key sequence, but it is not a character sequence.  The 
character sequence Emacs expects is the single character with octal 
value 037.  Almost all terminals send this character when the key 
sequence C-_ is typed.  Many terminals also send this sequence when 
typing C-- (unshifted _) or C-7 or sometimes even C-/.  The Windows 
Console "terminal" supports none of these extra key sequences.

If you really miss typing C-/, I recommend using PuTTYcyg instead of the 
console window.
