What you have to do on Unix systems (and I'd imagine it's the same with
CYGWIN) is to use two different command windows.
In the first one, set up tunnelling like this:
ssh -l dmkarr -C -L 2401:localhost:2401 cvs.apache.org
In the second one (or from EMACS or other CVS clients), you should now be
able to use the CVSROOT you tried. Tunnelling will only work while the
connection to cvs.apache.org (established in the first window) is active.
