Problems with committing changes to a CVS repository when not on the lan, is it possible to store them up?

[Antony Stace]

Hi Folks

I have just started to use CVS.  I have managed to set up a CVS
repository on a machine and connect to it via my notebook which is all
good and well when I am on the LAN.  What I want to be able to do is to
somehow make a copy of the repository on my notebook and work on this
copy when I am not on the LAN.  I want to be able to do things like

cvs commit

etc

What I have found is that when I do this when not on the LAN cvs waits
for ages and ages and says it cannot connect to the main repository.  Is
there any way that I can store these changes up on my local machine in
cvs and then when I get back to the LAN update the main CVS repository? 
If I can indeed do this can someone please tell me how to go about it.

Cheers

Antony
