I get a connection refused when logging in: C:\a\lisp\trial>cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs＠anoncvs.gnu.org:/gd/gnu/anoncvsroot login (Logging in to anoncvs(a)anoncvs.gnu.org) CVS password: cvs [login aborted]: connect to anoncvs.gnu.org:2401 failed: Connection refused C:\a\lisp\trial> I was trying this from a WinNt Ws4 Sp4 cmd window; same problem when using it from a (cygwin bash) shell under Xemacs NT beta or Nt Emacs 20.3.3.1.1 But under these shells it is even worse: nothing happens anymore after hitting the enter key on the pasword prompt. The aborted message only comes after Ctrl-C ing the cvs program (and yes, I waited long enough before doing this) I am a newbie at cvs, so there may well be something I overlooked though... Guido
