looking for a way to filter the minor amounts of lint that get past the
in-dryer filter screen . I've used old pantyhose legs in the past with
limited success but I think there must be a better way . Anybody done
this and have a suggestion ?

A cyclone - like a workshop dust collector? or even a "drop box" with
baffles? then run the exhaust through a furnace filter to catch the
rest.
Â*Hmm , great minds and all that ... I was thinking of a box with a
furnace filter mounted up on the wall behind the dryer . A cyclone
probably wouldn't do much , dryer lint has so little mass that it might
not separate . We have a big enough problem with dust and dog hair (he's
worth the bother) , I don't want to add dryer lint to it .

Have you tried this to make sure that other than filtering, it works OK.
You're going to be dumping a lot of moisture in one area and I would
expect you could have condensation on windows, any cold walls, etc.

In the dead of winter when it is dry as a March Fart that moisture
disappears pretty quickly in the house. I did have the dryer near an
intake for the forced air ducts but we never noticed a problem.
