I am having a problem with cvsup version 16. I used it about a month ao with no 
problem. I have now tried it several times with no success. I even reinstalled the 
entire operating system twice. 

I activate my modum and type cvsup supfile. The box appears and I click the go tab. It 
goes wild for about 30 to 40 seconds downloading 40 to 50 files.  This is okay.  After 
that, it just dies. This is the problem. I don't understand why it dies.

I have an external modem and after it dies, sometimes the transfer lights on the modum 
blink and sometimes theres no light at all. After it dies, it will go until it times 
out (15 to 20 minutes). I have FreeBSD 5.1. I installed the cvsup package off the 1st 
cdrom. I created 'cvsup' in the /usr/local/etc directory. I put my supfile under 
cvsup. I have csh, so I typed 'setenv CVS ROOT=/usr/local/etc/cvsup', which seems to 
work. The supfile I use is 

*default host=cvsup5.freebsd.org

*default prefix=/usr

*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup

*default tag-.

*default release=cvs

*default delete use-rel-suffix compress

ports-all

I don't remember my first supfile, I thinks it like the above. Also I learned that if 
something in the supfile isn't perfect, it won't work. Please analyze and let me know 
whats wrong. Thanks in advance.
