What sort of device is the jump box? Is it a Linux box, or a Cisco 
router running ssh, or something else?

If it's a Linux box, then you probably want to use ssh port forwarding. 
Do it from the command line, as I showed before (using 'ssh' and 
'telnet' commands), to prove it works and understand the principles. 
Then you can migrate to Ruby.

You'll need to run ssh.loop in a separate Thread:

Thread.new { ssh.loop { true } }
t = Net::Telnet.new("Host"=>"127.0.0.1", "Port"=>1234)
