That wasn't happening a second ago - Considering it's late at night on a
Sunday, I suspect our server is undergoing some essential maintenance.

Roughly the FAQ says:
CVSNT has an active community, many of whom are generous to offer
answers to questions in their own time.
Before contacting them carefully read the following guidelines about
submitting a question:
- Search for an answer using the mailing list archive at:
 http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/. The easiest way is with Google
Site Search. If someone asked the same question in the last 10 days or
maybe even the last 30 days it is unlikely anyone will answer your
question again.
- Search for an answer in the trouble ticket database at:
 http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/tt.htm. 

If your question is a "known issue" or "bug" then asking about it will
not help get it fixed any quicker. The trouble ticket database may
include instructions for a workaround.
- Be polite. Messages may be deleted if they are suitably impolite, and
will certainly be ignored. If you have been impolite in the past any
future messages may also be ignored or deleted.
- Do not use the word urgent. If your problem must be resolved in a
fixed time period you should employ an experienced CVS implementor or
use March Hare Software Professional Support. It is impolite to use the
word "urgent" to people who are assisting you on a voluntary basis and
the penalty for this is described in the above bullet point.
- Do not use a disclaimer, or if you do be aware of the following
restrictions and advice.
-  Use a subject on the e-mail that accurately describes the problem.  
These are not suitable:
o Problem
o Bug in CVSNT
o Help 
These are suitable:
o   Problem logging in using Eclipse client and :extssh:
o   Why does CVSNT make files read-only on checkout?
o   PDF Document attached to Help first time users
- Provide a step by step sequence of how to reproduce the problem
- Include the name and version of cvs client (eg: Eclispe 3.1)
- Include the name and version of cvs server (eg: CVSNT 2.5.01.1976)
- Include the name and version of Server operating system (eg: Windows
XP SP2, or Red Hat Linux ES v4)
- Include the name and version of Client operating system (eg: Windows
NT 4 SP6, or Solaris 9)
- Include the CVSROOT used by client (eg: :pserver:host:/cvsrepo)
- Ensure that you quote the exact wording of error messages
- Attach affected files (eg: the RCS file from the repository)
- Attach a debug trace of CVSNT command which causes problem: Cvs -ttt 

Regards,


Arthur
