Well, if you can't get your ISDN working from NetBSD (sorry, can't
help you there) and if you have another OS on the machine which can share
a filesystem with NetBSD (i.e. Windows, Linux, Mac OS I think, whatever)
then you should be able to run CVS from THAT OS.

I'm not sure if you'd run into any problems due to missing filesystem
features (i.e. sym-links) but you should be able to work around anything
you find (can allways just copy all the data to a NetBSD filesystem, but a
UNION mount might work too without the overhead).

Hope this helps,
	Rick
