Sure. Try anything. I'd bet a nickel that it doesn't work unless you set up a tunnel over HTTP; part of the point of having a proxy is to filter the content, and random binary data is a good candidate for filtering. Be prepared to CYA when the network guys come to purge your computer of whatever virus or trojan they're convinced is running on your system. -- Have you tried port 23? Maybe you can get lucky.
