Okay, here is a ProxyCommand that works with Dante for me.  It simply
runs netcat, which should be available on a lot of systems.

In [/path/to/]ssh_config, add:

Host *internet*
	ProxyCommand [/path/to/]socksify [/path/to/]nc %h %p

You will want to change "*internet*" to some other way to identify
hosts behind a socks firewall.  Is this a good or bad way of doing
things?  It seemed the simplest way to me, and scp copies binary files.
Is netcat safe?

 
Kind regards,
