About the last name... seems to be an 'oddity' even in my mother tongue, French.  Only meet 3 people that could prononce it correctly the first time :)

A pro for Ruby, in my opinion, but maybe a Con from Library writers...  I tried to look at what was done in the perl cpan net/telnet module but got lost and gave up.  I was able (for the most part, I think) to follow what was done in Ruby, even if I'm new to Ruby.  I'm starting to like it more and more...  :-)

Another person was of the same opinion.  I'll give that a try.  Thanks to all for the replies.
