SSH for CVSNT works just like CVS does, but to switch between two different 
server insalls you need to use the env var CVS_SERVER.  BTW it is NOT 
possible to use ssh on a CVSNT server on windows without opening security 
holes in the windows server, so windows CVSNT servers tend to use sspi or 
sserver protocols.

These look like they've been generated by WinCVS.  The correct format is:
:ssh:username at hostname:/cvsrepo

The CVSNT client accepts either format - since it is the server you are 
changing and not the client these are irrelevant (they are used by the 
client not the server).
