I am trying to interface to an API.  I am instructed to use the server
and port information provided to setup a TCP socket.  I did that like
this:

     require 'socket'
     my_socket=TCPSocket::open("ip","port")

Where "ip" and "port" are the provided ip and port of the server
respectively.

I am told that once the connection is established I will receive a
greeting from the server.  I was expecting to find that greeting in
my_socket.  Instead the contents of my_socket looks like this:

#<TCPSocket:0x9961c80>

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to do
to get at the greeting?  Obviously I am very green at this.  Thanks
for any input.
