Setting up cvs on Windows 2000

Environment: Windows 2000, sp3
I downloaded and installed cygwin.
I followed the steps outlined in
http://www.adamswann.com/library/2001/Cygwin-Inetd.html
>From the cygwin prompt, I can create repositories, check in, check out
files, etc. I can telnet remotely to that system and connect with my
system login and password (not to cvs - just the system). That all seems
to work just fine.
The problem is in trying to set up my system to behave as a cvs server
with pserver. If I do a "telnet localhost 2401", I get
"connected to [computername]
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host"
I'm not getting a prompt to login, authorization failures or anything
along those lines. It just doesn't work - which leads me to believe
that I'm missing an important configuration step. Suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. I have scoured the archives and google and just
don't see what I'm missing.
Please help.
