I have been doing this procedure for more than a year, I think, and it 
always worked. I always press enter.

I get the same error message:

cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.open-beos.sf.net:2401 failed: Operation 
timed out

It doesn't :-( The strange thing is that I did not change the script and it 
has been working that way for several months or so, and suddenly it did not 
work anymore. Then it worked again one time (about three weeks ago), but 
since then it does not work anymore.
