Linux behind MS Proxy firewall

I have recently set up a Slackware Linux box (kernel 2.0.35) on our lan.
Our proxy server is MS Proxy on an NT machine.

I can access the net eatily through Netscape with the browser's proxy configuration but also wish to use command line telnet, ftp and other network utilities. I am searching for a seamless solution.

I have the NT box set as my default gw in the linux routing table but it doen't do anything because the NT box is not only a gateway but a firewall.
the NT box is 24.231.17.2 and the linux box is 24.231.17.8.
If anyone can offer a seamless solution I will pay with many points.

Thanks in advance,

Does MS Proxy Server even offer FTP and Telnet proxies?

are there socks clients available for Linux?
I will have to search around....
if so, it would probable help a lot.

Of course!!! you can find socks4 and socks5 at http://www.socks.nec.com/ or ftp://ftp.nec.com/pub/socks/

I use daily something like:

s5 telnet somewhere.com
