Hi, all.

I connect from two places -- home over a dialup line and work over an
internet connection.  Work has a firewall.  I've got fink configured to go
through the firewall, and it used to work.  Lately, though, I'm having a
problem with fink selfupdate.  I'm set up to download packages directly from
cvs.  I get the 

su my-name 'cvs -z3 update -d -P'

line, but then it just sits there until I get an error message that the
connection failed because it was timed out.

If I ask to update or install a specific package it works fine, which
indicates that I can get through the firewall.  I can even selfupdate if I'm
at home -- just not at work.  I've tried closing and restarting terminal
before trying to selfupdate, and I've tried 'source /sw/etc/init.csh'.
Neither helps.

I'd appreciate any tips on how to resolve the situation, and would be happy
to provide additional information if I've left something important out.  And
now that I mention it, I'm using package manager version 0.9.8 with
distribution version 0.3.2a.cvs.

Thanks for any help (and for fink).

Matt Wiener
