Notice your omsg "Sedfdc -Q0 -x9" got echoed back to you, when your system
was expecting an "ROK" message from the remote.  The echo is coming
from your terminal server (which was unable to negotiate the telnet ECHO
option with the uucp daemon).  It is a fair bet that other parts of the
conversation are getting garbled.

You might consult documentation or technical support to discover how
you can make transparent TCP connections without the intrusion of
telnet protocol.
