Our cvs guy suggests:

"If it were me, I'd set the CVSROOT environment variable and try
to login.

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs at cvs.aoc.nrao.edu:/home/aipssrc/cvs
cvs login

The password is nothing, just hit return.

If that works I might try to grab a copy of TEXT somewhere, just to
see if I can.

cd /tmp; cvs get TEXT

The commands above presume bash, tcsh isn't export, it is

setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.aoc.nrao.edu:/home/aipssrc/cvs

I think.

If those things work, cvs works for her, if not, likely she's got
a firewall problem. "


May I suggest rather than the /tmp

cd $AIPS_ROOT
cvs -z 3 -d $CVSROOT get TEXT

which may show you more messages to help debug.
