Did you try using script command, then followed by your telnet command?
Once you are done getting all your debug, you can end the script session 
by ^D.  

script -a <file_name>
telnet <your options>
<capture debug>
^D

You should a message something like "Script done, file is <file_name>"

You might have control characters to deal with so using "tr" may be in
order on the script file afterwards.
