    I found way how partly resolve this problem.
    I use for SSH server OpenSSH on Windows v3.4-1 from http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh
    And setup it in way as described in readme.txt file.
    This package also include SSH client.
    I enetered in Settings dialog... (for the ssh protocol) Click "If ssh
    is not in the PATH" and enter path for ssh.exe and for "additional
    SSH options" enter: -l
    After trying checkout or import in concole windows appears prompt
    to enter password, I entered my password and checkout or import
    proceeds correctly exept few problems:
    1) If project on CVS NT repository contains sub-folders during
    checkout appears crash of CVS NT server. (I use Windows XP)
    2) After each operation console window of WinCVS not closed
    automatically

    Problems with password entering and not closing console window not
    crucial.
    But what about CVS NT crash???? Is it fully support Windows XP?
