To checkout from a remote host: Before starting this, make sure you have ssh set as the access mechanism of the remote host will chuck you out. For ksh/bash types, this is
   export CVS_RSH=/usr/local/bin/ssh

   cvs -d :ext:server.host:server-cvs-dir checkout module-name
e.g.,
   cvs -d :ext:mom.cvrti.utah.edu:/u/macleod/cvsroot checkout gfile/lib
   cvs -d :ext:mom.cvrti.utah.edu:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout map3d
   cvs -d :ext:cvsserv.sci.utah.edu:/usr/sci/projects/cvsrepository co SCIRun
   cvs -d :ext:cvsserv.sci.utah.edu:/usr/sci/projects/SpectralElementGroup
