script -f /tmp/ttylog
That only lets one of you type, but the other can watch using
tail -f /tmp/ttylog &
The nontypist can run write(1) to send one-line messages to the
typist.
write /dev/console # or whatever the correct tty is
Script, tail and write were both around before 1980, BTW. Nothing new
in console software.
