Hi,

Can you precise:
- your CVS version
- your access method (pserver or ssh)
- a copy/pastable command line that you use for the checkout that
  hangs
- the content of your ~/.cvsrc, just in case

As far as I'm concerned I can checkout emacs correctly with:
cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
with CVS 1.12.13.

Thanks.
