    Well, if it doesn't update in hour, it's fair to say it doesn't
work at all. Does the same happens with both over-SSH and anonymous
pserver update? The common problem is that CVS ports are firewalled at
provider's machines. Can you check with yours about this? pserver CVS
uses port 2401, CVS-over-SSH uses SSH's port, 22.

     But let's don't reject possibility of problem on your side.
Please tell us what the outputs of 'cvs --version' and what ssh
version (mine for example, doesn't understand neither --version nor -V
;-) ). Also, what exact command lines (and associated environment
settings) do you use?

LM> Thanks.
