[cvsnt] RE: CVSNT client on NT connecting to CVS Unix server

[Paul.Edwards at UK.ING.COM]

Hi,
   further to below I have now solved the problem by using Putty instead of
the Hummingbird(humsh.exe) I was using. The only caveat to this is that our
security department wants me to use the Hummingbird ssh because this is our
corporate standard.
	Has anyone had to use Hummingbirds humsh.exe before and got it to
work?

Thanks,
Paul.
