dftp out through a firewall

[Frere Roy]

On our site a new firewall has been installed and now inorder to ftp it 
is necessary to do the following

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ftp 194.248.7.3
Connected to 194.248.7.3.
220 WinProxy FTP Gateway ready, enter [EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]
Name (194.248.7.3:root):

Then I can type my '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

I cannot figure out how to overcome this hurdle when I use dftp as it 
is not expecting a Proxy promt.

Any ideas?

(Please, no comments about the fact the proxy is running under Windows 
NT ! - I know what you all must be thinking !)

If you are using dpkg-ftp (from dselect) then do 
  export FTP_FIREWALL=194.248.7.3
That will fix any perl using ftp program actually.
