capturing data from Telnet possible?

I need an app (or programming method) to capture screen data from a
telnet session. Any advice from the knowledgeable?

Thanks in advance.

I think most folks simply cut and paste, or use a telnet client that
supports data capture like PuTTY or KEA.

Use the 'script' command.

Agreed.

script is the way you log a shell command session, regardless of
whether you're on the console, telnet in, or ssh in.

On *nix there's also the command screen, to log *all* output on the
(open) terminal window...

Note that screen's logging lacks logging of typed input though, so
it's only half the telnet session. Plus it changes the characteristics
of your terminal which may not be what someone generally needs or
wants for a telnet session.

script is the better solution.

screen is a wonderful thing though. I'm soaking in it now. :-)
