CVS through firewall

Some questions: 1. You said previously that you had patches to allow cvs/pserver to work through a firewall. Are they publicly available and if so, where? Currently, I'm cvs'ing to my basement and then taring and ftping to work. Highly onerous. 2. The gutter stuff is cool, can it be controlled on a per-frame basis? I seem to be experiencing some of the endless redrawing of tabs bugs (Solaris 8 Beta) especially in a VM frame and I'd like to try turning of tabs on those frames (which don't really need them anyway). 3. When tabs are being redrawn something that is hard to put into words is happening. I wonder if you've seen it? The phenomena is that the tabs first get drawn like: +-------------+ | Label 1 | +-------------+ | Label 2 | +-------------+ | Label 3 | +-------------+ Then the region they occupy is blanked and they are redrawn properly. Then the region blanked needs to be refreshed. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that when things get bad, this redrawing is happening on every keystroke.
