What access method are you using?  pserver?  ext (and if so what is
CVS_RSH)?

Any sign that the checkout proceeded?  Did any files show up on the
client?  Do you keep a history file?  If so, you should be able
to check this to see if a checkout is recorded.  ("cvs history",
with appropriate options).
 
One thing you want to establish is where it hung in the process.
Did the client ever connect to the server?  If so, did it do part
or all of the checkout?  There could be problems with the connection
software, and unless it's pserver that's outside the scope of this
list.

(BTW, 1.10.7 is over two and a half years old.  You might consider
upgrading.)
