If you did, I did, too.

I more-or-less have to use pserver - its the only way I can get through my
firewall...

Can't you guys use ssh?  I seem to recall your firewall being socksified
ben, ssh has socks support.  If you haven't tried ssh before I recommend
1.2.17, because every version after that had a flurry of bug reports and
problems reported on the ssh mailing list.  See
<http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh/>.

install it
setenv CVS_RSH=ssh

That should get you going... that'll prompt you for a password each time
you try to connect.  You can set it up so you're running under the
ssh-agent, but it's more complicated.  I can post examples if anyone
wants.
