Ability to access CVS from corporate firewalls. I did try to > inquire why system administrators block the port 2401. CVS over SSH does not use 2401, it uses SSH port 22.

I once had similar problems, and the gnu.org maintainers set up CVS access through such ports; perhaps it's still there. It all ceased to be a problem for me when Subversion started using SSH, and I found that most firewalls don't block SSH ports.
