No.
Use SVN instead - it's built with exactly this sort of use in mind, is more firewall-friendly, and is a significant improvement on CVS. There's no point going down the CVS route for new projects, unless you specifically need to.
With respect, not a hope in hell of me using Subversion in the near future. The reason being is that it's only just hit 1.0 and there's no way I'm going to trust my code (my livelihood) to something so immature. I still recommend CVS to my clients for this reason.
With respect, you're a muppet :)
Subversion is yet to trash any data for me, and it's not as brain dead as CVS. CVS trashed repositories when ever it felt like it, or anyone commited in a slightly odd way, breathed on it wrong, or even just stroked the cat next door.
There's *NO* way that I'd use CVS to store my data through choice, and, infact, I don't. There's a heady evil mix between svn and tla for my projects.
Thanks,
