Just set CVSROOT to an appropriate value, e.g.:
export CVSROOT=:ext:user@host:/var/cvs

And set CVS_RSH:
export CVS_RSH=ssh

You can switch between CVS servers by changing the CVSROOT environment
variable. Most of the time, you don't even need to do that: once you
are in a work directory, cvs will automatically use the repository
stored in the administrative files.

The only time you need to set CVSROOT is when checking out a new
repository.
