Carl,
I suspect that you need to set Timeout to a larger value than it's default
(10), eg change line 3 to something like:

	tn = Net::Telnet.new({'Host' => 'missaolondrina.org', 'Timeout' => 20) {
|str| print str }

I could reproduce your problem running the program from a Win98 client
connecting to a Debian Potato host. However, I noticed it would only fail
the first time, if I immediately re-ran the client program, then it would
connect.  That would indicate to me that the telnet daemon is probably just
a little slow responding the first time it's invoked.

Hope this helps,
Anthony
