Thanks for your help Lee, The CVS_CLIENT_LOG looks good - I'll have to get it set up for when we are having the network problems and see the hangs again.
What I realized from your inquiry about specifying the port number in the CVSROOT variable is that it doesn't work for versions 1.10.x (again, I sorely need to upgrade). I previously used these alternate port repositories only via WinCVS - and that is still working fine (in WinCVS you can specify the alternate port successfully). I had a completely separate configuration problem on another Linux CVS server that was giving the same pserver access denied messages, which confused the issue for me.
