CVS over SSH does not use 2401, it uses SSH port 22.  Does your
firewall block that as well?

I once had similar problems, and the gnu.org maintainers set up CVS
access through such ports; perhaps it's still there.  It all ceased to
be a problem for me when Subversion started using SSH, and I found
that most firewalls don't block SSH ports.
