you're right, when I read that last night I was a bit tired.

I'm trying to look at the corresponding API for "non-ssh" telnet, to
figure out how to login to leafnode and get the output printed to the
screen.  I just get timeouts so far:

thufir@dur:~/ruby/ssh$ 
thufir@dur:~/ruby/ssh$ ruby ssh.rb
trying to connect...
# 0x00000: 54 72 79 69  6e 67 20 31  32 37 2e 30  2e 30 2e 31  Trying 
127.0.0.1
# 0x00010: 2e 2e 2e 0a                                         ....

     2	require 'net/ssh/telnet'
       
     3	puts "trying to connect..."
     4	s = Net::SSH::Telnet.new(
     5	        "Dump_log" => "/dev/stdout",
     6	        "Host" => "127.0.0.1",
     7		"Port" => "119"
     8	)

    10	putss.cmd("group comp.lang.ruby")
       
thufir@dur:~/ruby/ssh$ 
thufir@dur:~/ruby/ssh$ 


In fact, it doesn't even seem to be "logging in" since that put never 
executes.  Am I using the right API?  If so, how do I get the response 
which "telnet localhost nntp" brings up in the terminal?


thanks,
