[BorCVS-support] How to make BorCVS work with SF.net CVS server?

[Patrick D. <sof...@pd...>]

I have WinCVS installed talking to the SF.net CVS server over SSH. So I
tried to set up BorCVS the same. I told it that cvs.exe was located in the
WinCVS directory where indeed it is.

My CVSROOT I copied from WinCVS pointing to SF's server. This is the output
of a checkout:

C:\>"F:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\cvs.exe" -d
pdu...@cv...:/cvsroot/dunfordsoft checkout -P
autoexec

cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: cannot connect to socket: Connection refused

Exit code: 1

WinCVS doesn't seem to do different but it knows to bring up SSH and ask me
for my password.
cvs checkout -P autoexec (in directory D:\xxx)

Is there something I need to do to persuade BorCVS that it can talk to the
server through SSH or is this not supported?
