Subject: Re : Once again, Net::Telnet problems with QNX 4.24

One additional precision :

The "guilty" line that throw a "Timeout" exception in the Telnet class
is in the method waitfor() : 

     until(prompt === line and not IO::select([@sock], nil, nil, waittime))
        unless IO::select([@sock], nil, nil, time_out)
  >>      raise TimeoutError, "timed-out; wait for the next data" 


This method was called by login :

      if block_given?
        line = waitfor(/login[: ]*\z/n){|c| yield c }
        if password
          line += cmd({"String" => username,
                       "Match" => /Password[: ]*\z/n}){|c| yield c }
                     line += cmd(password){|c| yield c }
       else
         line += cmd(username){|c| yield c }
       end
     else
 >>       line = waitfor(/login[: ]*\z/n)


(RubyWin gave me these informations after the exception occured).

I use Ruby version 1.6.5 (from the cygwin pack).
