[Paraview] cvs under firewall

[Mike Jackson]

Before I go off the deep end with that solution.. where does the  
problem lie? At the firewall or at kitware? Is it that certain  
firewalls are NOT letting port 2401 through? This assumes the user  
has ssh access to another machine outside the firewall. What if they  
do not?
