Elfyn, Melonie,

Unless something has changed that escaped my attention, what has repeatedly 
been stated here (though no time very recently) is that Cygwin CVS does not 
support the "pserver" access mode. The recommendation has been to use the 
"external" access mode via SSH.

If that has changed, it would be nice, but as I said, I haven't heard about it.
