   We do not use pserver for anoncvs, instead use the following:

   export CVS_RSH="ssh"
   cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

   More information is available on: https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs

Thanks for your quick reply!  I was just writing a followup ...
After speaking to Stallman I tried a broader search of Savannah
and found entirely different anonymous CVS instructions at

        https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs

which worked fine so you might want to update the bad information at

        http://directory.fsf.org/GNU/emacs.html
and
        http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq2.html

although it will take a while to percolate to the 1290 Google hits
I got for "address@hidden:cvsroot/emacs" just now.
