Proxies/firewalls at work normally masks out telnet sessions to the internet, but for the techie there is a simple answer, other than bribing the network admin with lots of pizza and coke.
If you are working for a medium/large company, your network administrator can inform you of what your socks server address is. (don't tell him about mudding - something along the lines that you need to telnet an external site or ftp something from someplace)
If you are using Zmud in a rather recent version, you can directly put in the socks server information in the network settings.
If you are using a older version, you need so make your windows socks compatible. For example use the Hummingbird socks client.
I have the following line at the bottom of the socks.cnf file(after installing the hummingbird socks client):
sockd @=socksfw1.dk.ibm.com 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
So you need to put in the following:
sockd @=your_socks_server 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
This will direct any connection on the top ip-layer you need to the world ont the other side of your firewall, through the socksserver.

If you don't like messy answers, don't ask messy questions ;)
