Ari,

I've done something similar, so far just constructed a simple
chatserver. I use IO#gets(); but the thing that helped me with client
stuff is an answer to one of the rubyquiz quizes, specifically this one:
http://www.rubyquiz.com/q...

The handle_telnet function there fixed all the issues I had. I
previously was using PuTTY to connect, and specifying a raw connection.
Trying to use the telnet mode, or Windows Telnet, had wacky echo and
linefeed issues. I added that function to my GServer child, and wrapped
my call to io.gets() in it, and now both PuTTY Telnet mode and windows
telnet connect and act perfectly. It's beautiful.

Thank you, Mr. Gray!

Dave
