IPsocks was some kind of IP-number.

I tried it without and with tramp 'required' and without the
quoted list... but  I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable
tramp-default-proxies-alist)
  add-to-list(tramp-default-proxies-alist
("test.socksify.com" nil "/socks:141.36.72.254#1080:"))

(require 'tramp)
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             (list "test.socksify.com" nil
"/socks:141.36.72.254#1080:"))

Strange!?

Thanks, Fabian
