A number of indivduals responded to my resent request for help by email.
I've summarized the basic points in what follows.

The basic point was that the telnetd is not totally transparent, i.e.
it expunges 0xff bytes.  There are a number of ways around this
problem ranging from using the SYSV TLI/TLIS protocols to modifying
uucico.  I decided to modify uucico by 1) creating a uucicod at port
address 2000, and 2) changing uucico to call port 2000.  This solved the
problem and has been working well for the last week.  the only non-
obvious glitch was that tcplisten sets SIGCLD to SIG_IGN which causes
a wait(2) call to wait for all children to terminate and then return a
-1.  This showed up as uuxqt being unable to post mail using rmail!

If anyone is interested in the mods to the uucp sources, I can 
provide a patch file.

	Thanks,
	Mark
