If your non-firewalled pc is a windows box, I'm sure there must be some
downloadable thing for Windows to read a CVS repository.  Then you could do
what Gerhard suggested.

If you keep having troubles, try posting again cc-ed to the scipy list.  Several
of the folks there work with Windows boxes and the scipy sources, so they may
also have some ideas (I only use Linux and have no firewall issues, so I'm of
limited help).

Best,
