Best util I've found for this job is ttysnoop. Freshmeat link: 
http://freshmeat.net/projects/ttysnoop

I don't think ttysnoop has any method of redirecting a telnet session to 
another port, though. Of course, since telnet is essentially dumping raw 
text into the ether, it might be possible to tie tcpdump's raw mode to 
netcat and host/port. How to do this, thoug is left as an excercise (in 
pain?) to the reader.

On a side note, if you use telnet to do anything serious, such as 
network admin stuff, I _strongly_ urge you to switch to OpenSSH instead 
(http://www.openssh.org).
