You are using the command properly, however 'cvs co -c' won't list all
modules. It only lists modules that are mentioned in CVSROOT/modules. I've
never managed to find a way of listing all modules. However, zsh has
commandline completion that can handle module names (nope, don't know how
it works under the hood ;). Install the package (zsh), fire up zsh, set
$CVSROOT, type 'cvs co' and press TAB to have zsh list the available
modules.

(If you find out how zsh finds all modules then I'd be interested in
knowing.)
