Mike, have a look at APS:

It's a proxy that you can put in front of your NTLM proxy and which will 
do NTLM authentication for you on the back end. I found it very useful 
once when I was trapped behind a broken MS proxy server.

I looked into doing something similar in Squeak and concluded that it 
would be feasible but a fair amount of work. Squeak doesn't implement 
NTLM authentication in its HTTP client, so you'd have to write that 
yourself. If you do go that route, the source code and documentation to 
APS should be helpful.
