dselect through a firewall?

[Christopher Ray Martin <crmartin@ee.tamu.edu>]

I'm trying to get my girlfriend's Debian machine updated to 1.3 but so far
its been a real pain because she is behind a corporate firewall and I have
to manually ftp the files. Is there any way to configure deselect to go
through the firewall? 

in case this helps, netscape is setup for proxy like:

gate.machine  port 80

and you can ftp using

ftp@gate

and then when it asks for username you type

anonymous@ftp.debian.org

she doesn't have "direct" access to any outside machine.

anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, 
chris.
