Accept Passwords as Char-arrays

Using Strings to store passwords in Java can be a security hole. Strings are stored in memory until they are garbage collected and subsequently overwritten by something else. Using primitives lets the callee blank out the memory when done with it. The send() methods should be overloaded to accept passwords as primitive arrays (bytes, chars, etc), in addition to Strings.

Configurable Timeout

I'd like to be able to specify how long I'm willing to wait for a reply from the server. This would be the total time to get a response, not just for the first packet.

Throw Exceptions

Currently, exceptions are caught and either thrown away (with an nondescript sysout) or printed to the console. It would be better to throw them to the caller. Currently, my code has no way to know that something went wrong, except that the response is "".
