So, if I understand correctly, a normal 'cvs update' should NOT require
a *new* incoming tcp connection from the CVS server to my machine?

Everything has been working great for a year now, just this way, until
a few days ago.

I suppose those 'incoming' connections from netbsd.org may result from
my own impatience when I hit Ctl-C after waiting an hour for CVS to
finish what used to take 15 minutes just last week?

When I break an existing cvs update with Ctrl-C would the normal
response of the CVS server be to try to establish a new tcp connection
with my machine?

Thanks for any insights!
