Re: Using CVS from behind a firewall?

["Mohammad Abdin" <rafat kcs org kw>]

Is it possible to get CVS through a HTTP or FTP proxy. My ISP 
has incredible download speeds for HTTP/FTP (if you use their 
proxy) - but if I use DIRECT connections (without proxy) it is 
TERRIBLY slow. Is it possible to 'tunnel' CVS through the HTTP or 
FTP protocol. Or is it possible to be able to download 'instant-
snapshots' (instead of jimpick's daily snapshots)? I've seen this 
done before.
