I posted a howto on this in the group about 2 weeks ago, do a
search. Maybe it will help you out. Basically, configure tsocks on
your machine to handle the networks you want to access via proxy, and
exceptions for those you don't want to handle via proxy. Then, start
emacs with tsocks running, so gnus will do the NNTP connections
(via telnet for you?) transparently over socks.
