Just reading through _Programming Ruby_ (Great book!  I haven't skipped a page yet, and I know some of this! ;), and came across a little snippet:

require 'socket'
client = TCPSocket.open('localhost', 'finger')
client.send("oracle\n", 0)
...

And being a good rubian (?), I try all of the examples, of course ;).  But I don't seem to have the socket module.  Ruby 1.6.2 solaris2.6

Also, we have a truly rough firewall which requires login and only allows traffic through port 80.  Is there anyway for me to get through this?
