Logging telnet sessions

This seems like it should be easy, but I haven't read anything that shows how or even mentions it. Anyone know how it's done, or if it's possible. I'm simply 'telnet <host>'. Thanks.

Actually, this might be more specific, I don't know. I do want to only capture the text, but I don't suppose there's any way to only log what actually shows up on the screen (i.e. none of the embedded ascii codes).

I'm not quite sure I understand what you want, but
have a look at

man script

Cheers,

Thanks. That's pretty much what I was looking for. The only thing that would make it or something like 'screen -L' better would be if it didn't capture the embedded ascii stuff. (Attempting to create log files for when I log into MUDs) Anyway, it doesn't look like there's going to be a way around that so time to write a parser. Thanks again.
