For some generous definition of 'some'? :-)

We were rejected for all but two of our hourly updates over the past 48

went and banged on almost every minute and found only two that 'worked',
and one of those that 'worked' two hours in a row. I've changed our
cvsupin crontab to use that minute instead.

and the CVSup access limits will become more generous?

this list as well?
