I am posting this reply for future reference regarding anyone who wants 
to control/monitor Prime PRIMOS systems from Digital's POLYCENTER 
Console Manager (CM) software.
We successfully executed a Prime shutdown/startup boot cycle by configuring
the DECserver 700 as follows:
1) Configure the DECserver 700 port per the example given in the 
DECserver 700 Management manual in the section, "Configuring a Computer 
for Access through a TELNET listener".
2) Configure the DECserver 700 port as follows:
	local> change port 1 character size 8
	local> change port 1 flow control disabled
	local> change port 1 parity none
	local> change port 1 stop bits 1
3) Configure the DECserver 700 TELNET server software component as follows:
	local> change port 1 telnet server transmit character size 7
It works!
Here is a more detailed picture of the complete explanation:
TELNET			SERVER		   SERVER	Prime
CLIENT			HOST		   PORT		Computer
(Our Unix W/S)		(DS700)		  (DS700 Port)	(Console Mode)
--------------		---------	  ------------	--------------
8 bits			8 bits		   8 bits	8 bits
no parity		no parity	   no parity	no parity
---------------------------------> (Receive Direction)
7 bits			8 bits		   8 bits	8 bits
			strips high bit	   no parity	high bit on/off
<-------------------------------- (Transmit Direction)
Many thanks to all of you who assisted me in this effort!
