Here is what I use to catch all syslog messages on tty12, and pppd/chat traffic on tty11:
*.* /dev/tty12 daemon,local2.* /dev/tty11 daemon,local2.* /var/log/ppp # to catch only kernel messages to tty8: kern.* /dev/tty8 Probably the file /etc/syslog.conf has some examples too if you can't make sense of the man page or don't have it handy.
