Last time I worked with SOCKS, it was SOCKS 4 (SOCKS 5 was in beta, at best; this was a few years ago). At that time, there were some client programs that were provided with the SOCKS sources for FTP, TELNET, and WHOIS clients. (They were "rftp", "rtelnet", and "rwhois", respectively.) I believe I've heard that with SOCKS 5, there's a way to dynamically "SOCKSify" just about any executable; since I haven't used it, though, I don't have much information on it.
