FTP Proxies and Ports

Hello, 

I've thus far been unsuccessful with $FTP_PROXY and $HTTP_PROXY in getting
fetch to honor my company's FTP proxy. The easiest way to use the proxy is a
URL format: ftp://<username>:<password>@<server>. Is there a way that I can
specify that this format be used anytime I want to download and install or
update a port? I'm using fetch instead of CVSup. 

Thanks for any help you can provide!
