Any help appreciated.
See <http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/> for details about anoncvs/cvsup access. That information hasn't changed in a while, and since it is a public access point, no authentication is required. Worked for me when I just tried it. Hmm, maybe you are trying to connect to the old cvsup server that used to exist for the old "closed" devel membership structure that we abandoned in favour of this open forum early this year? If that's the problem, then changing your cvsup file according to the information in the above-referenced web page should take care of it.
