We don't use CVSNT as our server runs on AIX (Unix). We use the original
code base which can be downloaded from www.cvshome.org. The
CVSNT-2.0.58a.exe may be based on a version of "base" CVS that is newer
than
CVS 1.11.6. Having just looked, the cvsnt.com wesite seems to have changed
quit a bit since I last looked.
The version numbers we are referring to are different products, so your
CVSNT-2.0.51d may be not be "newer" than my CVS 1.11.6.
As for your problem with the repository list going away, I had the same
problem with CVS 1.11.14 and also had problems adding projects through the
tooling as you describe. That's what lead me back to 1.11.6 with base CVS.

I will follow the link you supplied.
The new repository I set up has only been accessed through the Toolkit.
Our version of CVSNT is cvsnt-2.0.51d.exe
One funny thing we saw was that using the CVS perspective you can get a
list
of projects in CVS. This, I was told was only supported by entries in the
"modules" file which we have never touched. BUT..on one of our development
boxes we upgraded to version cvsnt-2.0.58a.exe and now the repository list
in the toolkit has gone away. We think it's an upgrade issue rather than a
features problem. BUT from what I have been told we are trying to figure
out
how it is getting the list without the "modules" file being updated.
The current version you can download from CVSNT.com seems to be far ahead
of
the one you have got. Is there a place I can download this one. Is there a
reason you are not up to date except for "If it isn't broke don't fix it"?
