Well Tony,

I got it to work apparently.  I created a shell script and put it in 
c:/cygwin/bin.

The shell script goes:

#!/usr/bin/sh
cmd.exe /c cvs $*

PServer still apaprently works as I assume that just works off of the 
cvs.exe.

Thanks for the tip.  But I will tell you there is a difference with CVSNT 
1.11.x and CVSNT 2.5.0.2 and how the output is using Cygwin SSH.
