If you are after a socks client proxy try tsocks (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tsocks/), been running it sucessfully for over a year for SSH connections. You'll have to compile it but it is fairly straightforward.

Also, is this a socks proxy, or something else? I'm not aware of any browsers under Linux/390 that support socks proxies. There is a package (that I can't remember the name of right now) that will set up a socks environment for any given command which will allow you to use a socks proxy, but it's a bit of a pain to use.
