Using the Ultrix "script" command and then invoking dlogin is a
reasonably close approach to what you want.  The output will still
be buffered - i.e. somewhat behind the terminal activity, but it
is still available as it goes.

Are you sure that dlogin -l doesn't record as it goes, with a similar
buffering issue?

Note that older versions of Ultrix/VMS acted funny with "script" and
you had to use control/V for a line terminator...  Don't ask me...
