Ruby Telnet Login Problem

Question

Hello, I am having problems with Ruby Telnet API. More specifically, the login command. My code is as follows:

  options["Name"] ||= 'anonymous'
  options["Password"] ||= '******'

  @connection.login( options, &block )

And the output...

Trying 10.160.52.63...

Connected to 10.160.52.63.

login: a

...and then I get a TimeoutError. Am I just not waiting long enough?? I set the timeout to 3 seconds. I would think this would be plenty of time to send a string, but maybe I am wrong?? Why would it take so long?

Thanks so much,

JW

EDIT:

I tried writing to kernel, to find out what's going on and I'm getting this:

login:

--> trying to login!!

---> String is...anonymous

----> printing string anonymous

--> writing .... anonymous

---> waitfor (?-mix:[Pp]ass(?:word|phrase)[: ]*\z)

a

The arrows show what I printed to Kernel...I don't know if this helps, figured I'd include it. I also tried setting the timeout to 25 seconds...no good. Thanks!
