recording tty sessions

i regularly use script(1) on solaris. this is really usefull to show someone else what you actually did.
but a video with timestamps would be cooler though, but eats memory and time to create.
i just saw that NetBSD's script(1) offers two nice parameters: -r and -p (record & play). while script(1) records your input, it records timestamps too, which can be played later on. solaris nor linux come up with this - bad.
here are two usefull tools for recording your tty sessions in case you want to replay them later like a video:
ttyrec
IPBT
