 Probably a problem with SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM or LOGIN.COM

 It take 12 s for me

pigeon% cat c.rb
require 'net/telnet'
require 'auth'
tn = Net::Telnet.new("Host"=>'orsay2', "Timeout"=>300, "Dump_log" => 'aa')
begin
   tn.waitfor({"Match"=>/Username: /})
   tn.cmd({"String"=>$username, "Match"=>/Password: /})
   tn.cmd($password)
   tn.cmd("\n")
   n = 0
   tn.cmd('show syst') {|c| print c if n == 1; n+= 1}
rescue
   puts "Telnet connection failed."
   exit
end
pigeon% time ruby c.rb

 VMS think that the session is interactive (i.e. F$MODE())
