I haven't tried telnetting but by export http_proxy=http://proxy.vianet.net.au:80 I can reach the WWW through Lynx.
The error is generated fro FTP, http, gopher,etc... I have tried entering the proxy details for all and for one at a time - the error just will not go away !!! As I have to disconnect/reconnect/disconnect/reconnect to test telnet and report back, pls let me know if you think I should do this (I am mailing from windoze !)
