Well make up your mind -- are you going to connect with ssh or with
pserver?  ~/.cvspass is only used by pserver, so it won't do you any
good if you're connecting with ssh.  Set CVSROOT the way you want it and
don't override it on the command line.  My guess is that there's a
firewall between your client and server that isn't passing the
cvspserver protocol.

That looks like ssh is running your .profile or .cshrc and it contains
an stty command that isn't valid when running that way.
