I made the obvious changes to make it connect to the SMTP daemon on my 
machine and it works fine on Linux with Ruby 1.8.1 (2004-02-06).

Nothing is ever discarded from @data, and you search from the beginning
each time, so you'll never find the second occurence of any string, but 
that's not the problem you're having here.

Are you sure your telnet daemon is behaving? That trash string found at 
the beginning is not right.
