FWIW here Mark its Fedora 6 on an x86 box, cvs-1.11.22-6.fc6.rpm 
installed.  ADSL hookup, 1.5 down, 256k up.  But look at the traceroute 
outputs I posted, it almost looks as if the clarksburg verizon router is 
filtering sourceforge accesses.  And I wouldn't put it past them.  Pings 
work, but not a heck of a lot else.  They do a lot of stuff in the 
background that would cancel their 'common carrier' status in a heartbeat 
IF we still had a functioning FCC.  Their email filtering, "which the 
customers demand" doesn't stop a heck of a lot of spam since SA still 
nails about 600 junkmails a day, but it sure stops anything that might be 
from "the other guys", aka anyone who just might be "competition" for 
their landline income.  They, after being yelled at for about a half an 
hour one night, gave me an address that purportedly bypasses 
this 'filtering' but guess what?  I can rx from it just fine, but I 
cannot send through it using that as a return address, so what use is it?

I'd answer the above question in vivid detail, but this is a mixed crowd 
here...  I'd give almost anything if there was a competitively priced 
alternative to verizon for internet services available here.
