You can do it through using a proxy server on the NT machine.

OK - the NT proxy server seems to be the general suggestion.
I just have one more question about this. I work for IBM and through the
IBM Global
Dialer I can get in through the IBM firewall to the IBM internal network.
If I connect
using the Global dialer, will I be able to telnet from my linux machine to
a machine
inside the IBM firewall???
