I have had very limited dealings with proxying... I played around with socks5 and Windows clients (hint: tell socks5 to use socks4 protocols). I don't know how trustworthy the source is, but http://toastytech.com/evil/msproxy.html says you are hosed. Al Longyear is a pretty well-known ppp guy, but this message is old: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/net/9701.3/0034.html On the other hand, there is a hopeful note at http://browserwatch.internet.com/news/stories2001/news-20010116-2.html.
