So do they dial up?  They must share their code somehow.  I think
people would need to know how to help you.  You wouldn't have to teach
them to use a whole new OS if they just need to do PPP to your
network.  Once you set up remote dialup from one Win32 box to your
UNIX box, you will can just duplicate the procedure.

The only access method I can think of that CVS won't support would be
FedEx.  Even with the FedEx access method, you are just maintaining
documents the way business professionals often do.  You have one
individual that is the Document Master and uses whatever version
control method he chooses (i.e. CVS ;)).  People query him for the
latest rev., etc.
