Re: [Plug] telnetting around a firewall


I seem to remember being able to telnet thorugh an MS proxy -- to do so,
I had to telnet to the proxy machine, login in using some combination of
a user/pass command, and then, once I was authenticated to the MS proxy,
I was able to enter a host address to telnet to and it made the connection
on my behalf.

Same type of thing worked for ftp, though the auth/connection process was
wacked in comparision -- had to do something like:  

ftp proxy_user@external.host.com

Then type in my password to the proxy...I dont' remember, but it only took
a little hackign around to figure out the proxy's syntax for doing this.
