I checked the socks.conf of my office machine, I have
something like:

route {
        from: 0.0.0.0/0   to: 10.239.253.0/24 via: IPsocks
port = 180
        protocol: tcp
        proxyprotocol: socks_v4 socks_v5
        method: none

So I would do

	(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             '(list "MyMachineName" nil "/socks:IPsocks#1080:"))

but, first I do not know, if the syntax is correct and
second my Emacs version 22.1 gives me:

	Symbol's value as variable is void: tramp-default-proxies-alist

I assume that I am still doing something (a lot) wrong!?
