The first time you do

    EXPORT CVS_RSH=ssh
    cvs -z3 -d linux-apus.sourceforge.net:/.... co linux

The next time you just do

    cvs -z3 update -d

and it will transfer the changes only (compressed with gzip -3). Should be
bearable with a POTS line.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
