Is there any other way to do it? What type of firewall is it, do you know? If it's SOCKS, you can use the runsocks command to SOCKSify the 'fetch' command which the port install process uses - so it will correctly traverse the firewall (assuming you set up the SOCKS client library properly). This is the setup I have, and it works fine..but other types of firewall are less permissive. If you can use things like rtelnet or rftp to talk to systems on the other side of the firewall, it's likely to be SOCKS. Kris
