You can find out if you can connect using telnet. Try:

    telnet cvs.delorie.com 2401

(2401 is the port-number for CVS.)

If you can connect OK, then the problem is the CVS program. If you can't
connect OK - if it times out or you get a connection dropped message
immediately - then it's probable that your ISP is blocking CVS access.

HTH, bye,
