It's in 2.0.46 - I haven't documented it yet but it's relatively easy to use.
Basically you fill in your server details in extnt.ini, then point your client 
at the extnt.exe for use as its external protocol.

eg. for example for cvs.myserver.com add the following to extnt.ini

[cvs.myserver.com]
protocol=sspi
hostname=cvs.myserver.com
directory=/repository

Then in your client set a root

:ext:me at cvs.myserver.com:/repository

And tell the client to use extnt.exe as its external protocol handler (how to 
do this varies between applications).
