You can avoid this if you can access a machine which has a fast
connection to the CVS server.  Use rsync over your 56k to mirror your
local directory tree to the machine with a fast connection, login to
that machine and do the CVS checkin from there.

It is what I do for other CVS projects.  Perhaps rsync should be built
in to CVS, but it isn't.
