Hi Wolfgang,

No luck, I'm afraid.

My ~/.ssh/config now contains the line:

Protocol 2,1

But this seems not to have helped. I now have:

>set CVS_RSH="ssh"
>cvs -t -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gift co gift
-> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gift
-> Starting server: rsh savannah.gnu.org -l anoncvs cvs server
cvs [checkout aborted]: received interrupt signal
-> Lock_Cleanup()

Again, it just hangs. I wonder if this has something to do with a proxy? 
Do you know what port this uses?

Cheers,

David
