>Does a "proxy" require extra hardware on the client's side?

A proxy is a server. Most ISPs have HTTP proxies for their customers.
If your ISP has one, just set it up in NetHopper in the preferences.

>Where does one get the entries to be filled in, in a proxy config form?

In NetHopper preferences, Proxy Settings or something like this.

>In layman's terms, what path does a proxy request follow?

Newton <---> Proxy <---> Server

The Newton connects to the proxy, sends the request, then the proxy
connects to the server (unless it's also a cache and has the data in
its cache), then grabs the result and return it to the Newton.

Cf RFC 2616 for more details.
