Help with using CVS for my project.

Ok not the usual how do I grab the Torque source question, this ones a little different. I tried at Gamedev.net but no response. So here goes ;)
I'm using TSE and grabbing the code straight from the CVS into a local directory, what I want to be able to do is have my own CVS on my Win2k3 server using CVS NT which I can then submit my changes to. The problem is the Windows CVS clients I've used seem to only allow one CVS server per local directory. Essentially, what I want to be able to do is:
1) Grab a fresh copy of the Torque source via CVS onto a local directory
2) Modify the source as needed
3) Submit it my personal CVS server on my LAN
4) Be able to grab updates from the Torque CVS server to help merge the updates with my local codebase
5) Go back to step 2, rinse and repeat
Ideally I'll then be able to roll back to a local LAN copy of my code if I need to.
Is this possible? If so how? What tools do you recommend? and are there any good CVS tutorial resources I've missed? I also have a Linux server I can use, and in fact, come to think of it probably will because it runs cooler than my Win2k3 server box which is a good thing this time of year when I just wanna shut down my 2k3 box to keep the room cooler ;)
Any help greatly appreciated!
