In JDK 1.4, there exist options for socks proxy host and port (socksProxyHost and socksProxyPort). These can be used to communicate with a remote CVS host through a firewall. The user should be able to set these options from within the IDE. They could be on the mounting wizard and possibly also in System Options.
Scheduling for 4.0.
Changing priority to P3 - nice to have.
Proxy settings are supported in 5.0 CVS. IMHO this does not block 58412.
