Unfortunately, anonymous CVS access may not work due to load restrictions:

"(2003-10-09 12:00:48)   The load restrictions are still present on the
anonymous pserver based CVS services. In addition to the older error
messages indicating the situation, the following error message also
indicates the same condition of the server hitting max load and shedding
your connection. If you see this error message, please try your operation
again at a later time:

cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net:
M PserverBackend::PserverBackend() Connect (Connection refused)"

I checked that tonight and had the above error.

Manu.
