Unless I'm mistaken, you can't CVS through Proxy. I think I've asked/googled around. Only thing I found was references made like 5 years ago that had anything that resembles cvs through proxy. There was also suggestion to use desproxy to tunnel cvs or some kind of web-bases cvs that you can use a proggie to sort of screen scrape. I forget.
