The Eclipse CVS client doesn't work so well with CVSNT.  There are lots 
of other front-ends that work very well with CVSNT.  I'm not sure why 
Eclipse decided to go with such a low-level method for implementing CVS 
but it's very fragile and they haven't been supporting CVSNT (but you'll 
get better information from their mail archives).

(Yes, Eclipse is listed in there--It 'sort of' works).
