Well, generally speaking, telnet protocol by default doesn't use SSL; 
basically not supporting SSL certs. Then later down the road came the 
telnet-ssl client. Telnet-SSL uses SSL auth and encryption when the 
responding server uses it. However, if the responding server does NOT 
use SSL then the client will revert back to the standard (non-ssl) 
protocol.

With that said this leads me to believe that telnet is crashing, or 
rather..error-ing out, because the certs you are using are not 
compatible with basic telnet services.

So how you might go about resolving this conflict is run the cert error 
through a begin/rescue block. In rescue you would change the cert to a 
standard telnet one.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask otherwise -
