Is cvs access broken?

Or has something changed from the directions provided here:

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/ch07s02s06.html

At first the connection is simply timing out for me

schwaalap csound5_9-14 # cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/c sound login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/csound
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M -!- Client or Server timeout occurred!


Then I started to get this message:

Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/csound
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)


Any help would be appreciated.
