We don't have any more SOCKS5 proxies, and none of our internal routers (nor the firewall) will forward the ports cvsup uses. Asking for a list of ports which _are_ forwarded brands you as some kind of industrial spy, and using cvsup to probe for some will get you carted off to the Corporate Re-education Camp For Disadvantaged Employees Or Contractors (tm). I've tried cvsup with passive modes on, but at no time does it ever connect to the outside world.
