Try something like this:

-------------------------------------------

#! /usr/bin/ruby

require 'net/telnet'

session = Net::Telnet.new(
   "Host" => "hostname",
   "Timeout" => 10,
   "Prompt" => /[$%#>] \z/n

session.login("username","password")

session.cmd("ls -la") { |c| print c }

session.close
