Subject: Re: Stuck with Telnet still

I Had also tried this with no luck - as it just doesn't work at all:

require 'socket'
require 'thread'
 
sock = TCPSocket.new('ancient.anguish.org',2222)
$stdout.sync = true
 
t1 = Thread.new do
loop do  
  while line = gets
      sock.puts line
      break if /^quit/ =~ line
   end
end
end
 
t2 = Thread.new do
   loop do 
      ch = sock.recv(1)
      putc ch
   end
end
 
t1.join

Fairly understandable, since you're only accepting one line from the
keyboard before that thread terminates:
