I've been fiddling with getting through a MS Proxy from a debian box
in the last few days, and the ease of getting through it greatly depends
on the proxy configuration. I believe our proxy is set up to only let through
http traffic. Any other protocol that gets through therefore 'pretends' to be
talking http. I have not yet found a way to telnet out in this manner (but a
windows machine can telnet using the MS Proxy client, so it must be possible
_somehow_). I have however had greater success with lftp, which happens to be
available as a debian package of the same name.
However .. if you have the options of doing socks, I would certainly recommend that
as the better option. I just wish I had that choice :)
