It's dreadfully easy.  I entered "telnet | tee /tmp/telnet"
with this happy result:


telnet> Trying 192.26.61.22...

Escape character is '^]'.


IRIX System V.3 (saffron)















You'll note a couple of things:

Even though I entered my password during the session,
it didn't show up in the log file.  This is a good thing!

All the control characters, the backspaces and line feeds,
show up in the log file.  It's ugly, but you can always
edit it later if you must.
