   scanf() will always echo the characters, but getchar() won't.  If
   you're receiving more than one character, though, you'll have to call
   getchar() multiple times, as it only processes a character at a time.

This is really OS specific.  Scanf does NOT echo characters, the
OS does.  See your appropriate OS manuals or newsgroup for details.
The answer to the original question is "Yes, it is probably possible."
