Ah, kind of misunderstanding: Andy's server works quite fine!
You can connect to it with cygwin CVS or Linux CVS.

But Andy's server is pretty old, therefore my question to get
cygwin CVS server running.

Again a misunderstanding: Andy's server works fine, I just took it as a
working reference programm for my tests with cygwin CVS.

No, there is nothing weird. It works!

Well, this works quite fine, too.
