Under UNIX, you must set the CVS_RSH environment variable to "ssh".
I've not tried it under Windows, but you might like to try that.

I think it's certain.  CVS works by spawning ssh using a command line.
It also wants to communicate with the server by using the stdin and
stdout of the ssh process.
