Hey, I'm not that old (yet). Anyway, I made this mistake before, so my 
eyes were trained to discover it again :)

Hm... it should work to check out the repository when you are "in the 
tree". In any way, you should use the -z3 option that not only 
compresses the communication, but also gives you the prompt back in 
BeOS :)
Well, this line alone worked, too:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/open-beos co .
