This may be a lame question, but I'd like help trying to figure out how
SOCKS compares to a traditional proxy server. What software do I need at
the SOCKS server and what do I need at a client machine? Do I need a
special SOCKS-ified version of Telnet and FTP in order to traverse the
SOCKS host?

Also, what are the benefits of using SOCKS as opposed to a stateful or
session layer firewall?

All responses are appreciated. All flames will be ignored.

Thanks,
Pat Hayden
