Mainly in man screen. Just do this though (this will work if you have a 
stock install and no custom .screenrc):
1) yum install screen   # Install screen
2) screen               # Start screen
3) Press Ctrl-a then H  # This starts logging the current window (should 
be 0)
4) telnet firewall      # Log in to your firewall
5) Ctrl-a H again       # Run this once you're done on the firewall to 
close the log
6) exit                 # Exits screen
7) less screenlog.0     # View your screenlog.
