 Hello,

 First of all, pserver is a cvs-only mechanism so it's a bit confusing to
speak about it in relation with svn, let's just forget about pserver and
cvs.

 It looks like your firewall blocks the outgoing port 3690 used by svn
protocol. No surprise here I guess :-(

 I'm not sure why are you trying https instead of plain http but

        $ svn co http://svn.sv.gnu.org/svn/lmi/lmi/trunk lmi

should really work unless your firewall blocks http as well which would be
a little surprising (double "lmi" is not a typo, the first is the project
name and the second one is the name of subdirectory whose sibling is
"skeleton").

 Do you have any trouble with the above command line?
