Dear all,

i used one of the simples examples to open a telnet connection,  
#Begin Ruby code

#!/usr/bin/ruby  
require ‘net/telnet’

remote = Net::Telnet::new( “Host” =\> “192.168.80.1”,  
“Port” =\> “23”,  
“Timeout” =\> 60,  
“Output\_log” =\> “output\_log”,  
“Dump\_log” =\> “dump\_log”  
)

remote.login( {“a”,“xxxxxx”) {|c| print c}  
puts “\>\>\>LOGIN COMPLETE”

remote.cmd( “print,/” ) { |c| print c }  
remote.close  
#End Ruby code

Here is what i get:

# GB1000 receiver ready

# /par/rcv={id=8QT5CSWNSHS,ver={main="3.1 Jun,28,2007

p3",board=EGGDT\_2}}  
login: Password: RE019%Logged in on /dev/tcp/a%  
/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:551:in `waitfor': timed out while waiting for more data (Timeout::Error) from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:685:in`cmd’  
from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:730:in `login’  
from telnet.rb:11

from the receiver i am already loged in, then why do i still get this  
login error?

Thanks
