It depends on what protocol you plan on connecting to.
SSH, HTTP, FTP, SOCKS, they're all protocols. You have to use a like or compatible protocol with a proxy. If you are connecting through telnet, you must use a telnet proxy or a compatible proxy and client.
Google for a telnet proxy. I don't know of any.
