Yeah, sure, it's right in the TOS that port 80 is blocked. > > Too damned bad the left hand and the right hand aren't attached to the > same body... ---- you're wasting your time with Verizon...it's not their problem. I suggested that you needed to ask the project people how to do it but it was easy enough to figure out if you browse the repository... $ mkdir deleteme $ cd deleteme $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/nitros9 login ### note press 'enter' when prompted for password $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/nitros9 \ co -P nitros9 $ done Craig PS: I don't have a bias against old farts...I'm getting to be one myself. I get discouraged when you always seem to pick the path of least resistance and not the path of good reasoning. I can appreciate that you couldn't grok the actual command to do the cvs checkout and rather than ask the project, you come on this list which has nothing to do with that project and then waste yours and Verizon's time. PPS: Internet providers might block port 80 on inbound connections but not on outbound connections - there is a differentiation called source port and destination port and thus Verizon wouldn't block any outbound connections on port 80 or it would be a fairly worthless Internet provider. CVS connections of course have nothing to do with port 80 (grep cvs /etc/services)
