Thanks for the good luck.. I'll need it!

I tried following the advice on 
http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk/madwifi-2.htm#1 the first of which was 
the command below:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/madwifi \
co madwifi

As the \ I believe tells it the command continues on the next line it came out as:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/madwifi co madwifi

That produced errors of:

cvs checkout: warning: failed to open /root/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory

and

cvs [checkout aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend: PserverBackend() Connect (no route to host)

The network connection is fine as I've just downloaded and installed Thunderbird and Firefox.

Any ideas welcome :)

Kind regards,

Julian
