Due to our firewall I could not use NT for this test, I had to use Windows 95,
but everything works as expected. (I successfully checked out the winsup module.)

The client part of CVS works quite fine, it's the server part making problems:
I was not able to connent to a cygwin CVS server with the cygwin client.

I should have said: ...try to connect to a _cygwin_ CVS server...
Other CVS servers can be contacted without problems.

Sure, you have to do that, if you want to start cygwin CVS as server.
I included the script untouched, as it works fine with Andy's CVS server.
