you'd need to put a .netrc file onto the proxy in order for that to work (in other words, not likely to happen).

same thing for the scripting method, if you had a script sitting on the proxy, you could kick it off with a script you run locally. also not likely for them to let you do that.

all is not lost, however, if you're willing to do a bit of coding. try using either "expect" or "tcl". check out http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/ for more info.
