The CVS NT server has its own web page and README, you might try checking
http://www.cvsnt.org/readme.nt
Specifically:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Connecting from Unix or Mac clients
To connect from clients which don't understand NT drive/directory syntax,
an alternate syntax is available using double-slash (//) instead of the
colon:
set CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/d//cvsroot
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: I have never tried working with an NT based CVS server.
