Summary: "password" is case sensitive in lib/telnet.rb

Initial Comment:
In attempting to telnet to a windows machine, the telnet client hangs when a username and password are given to login:

  require 'net/telnet'

  tn= Net::Telnet.new({'Host'=>'nara'}) {|str| print str}

  tn.login('oda_nobunaga','super-sword')


In the code it appears that the request for a ¡Èpassword¡É is not being recognized.  Changing the password to be case insensitive fixes the problem.


Origional:

module Net

...

 class Telnet < SimpleDelegator

...

    def login(options, password = nil) # :yield: recvdata
      login_prompt = /[Ll]ogin[: ]*\z/n
      password_prompt = /Password[: ]*\z/n
...

----------------------------- Change -------------------

    def login(options, password = nil) # :yield: recvdata
      login_prompt = /[Ll]ogin[: ]*\z/n
      password_prompt = /[pP]assword[: ]*\z/n    <==== change here

...
