If your company is letting the SSH port (22) through, you can create a
tunnel to cvs.cvshome.org. The syntax is something like `ssh
-l<someport>:cvs.cvshome.org:2401 [EMAIL PROTECTED]', password
`tunnel'. Then use a CVSROOT of
`:pserver:anonymous@localhost:<someport>/cvs' (the same as you would
have used before except the localhost:<someport> tunnel).
If I didn't get the incantation exactly right, it's available via the
source code link in the top nav bar of the CVS project on cvshome.org
(ccvs.cvshome.org).
Other than than, you'd need someone without a firewall to download it
and mail a tarball to you, probably.
