    Howdy,
    looging for a, as subject says, a telnet client for unix that can log it's session. The same way as windows telnet can log a session. Cant seem to find a logging option on the man page.

    Got any ideas ?

    Thanks
    Gav

    Try redirecting the output:

    telnet foo.org | tee log.txt

    This will copy the standard output to the log.txt file as well as displaying it on the screen.

    You may need to do some further filtering as the standard output of telnet includes a load of control characters. These would need to be replaced with '\n' etc.
