I'm writing an AppleScript and I'd like to be able to tell whether my proxy settings (in Network) are on or off.

Is there a way I can do this by either using a unix command or maybe using defaults to read the current setting (I can't find the Network preferences anywhere).

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how easy it is going to be to AppleScript this, but you can find out the System Configuration for this kind of thing using the command line utility scutil.

Here's an example of using it:

Code:
% scutil
> open
> get Setup:/Network/Service/0/Proxies
> d.show
<dictionary> {
  HTTPSPort : 3128
  RTSPEnable : 0
  HTTPSEnable : 1
  HTTPProxy : proxy.my.local.domain
  ExceptionsList : <array> {
    0 : *.my.local.domain
    1 : my.local.domain
  }
  HTTPPort : 3128
  SOCKSProxy : proxy.my.local.domain
  FTPPassive : 1
  HTTPEnable : 1
  FTPProxy : proxy.my.local.domain
  SOCKSEnable : 1
  FTPPort : 3128
  SOCKSPort : 1080
  GopherEnable : 0
  FTPEnable : 1
  HTTPSProxy : proxy.my.local.domain
}
> quit
%

Could be interesting trying to script it, but it does tell you the information you need.
