syncing sources without cvs and cvsup

Hmm. Is port 80 actually blocked then to everyone but the actual proxy servers? Just getting a feel for your environment. Try telnet www.google.com 80. Does it connect? If it does, then I wonder if your firewall is statefully inspecting non-http traffic across 80. You could get an ssh
