Subject: Processing Net module errors

Hi!

Looks like in case of all different kinds of network failures, such as
interface not up, cable unplugged, unknown host name, etc., ruby
returns SocketError on open_socket call (as it probably should),
raises some kind of exception and terminates my script. I looked at
module Net but didn't find anything better then FTPProtoError and the
like. Which exception do I need to intercept in my rescue clause for
all sorts of socket failures? I am a kinda new to Ruby, and I
apologize if I overlooked something very primitive.

Thanks,
Vik
