Mike:

I had a similar problem with uucp through a CMC Terminal Server.  I had
written a "reverse telnet" program to set a permanent circuit from the
server to the host.  To make a long story short, I found out that
typically, telnet uses 7-bit mode, however, it is an option that is
negotiable.  It may be that Ultrix may default to 8-bit mode and the
3Com terminal server may default to 7-bit.  The 3Com TS may not support
8-bit mode?  I not sure about that.

Hope that helps.
