Nope - No joy.
As I say the problem is the stripping of the NULs, I have seen these replaced with CR's LF,s etc in the past due to protocol considerations (7 bit 8 bit etc) and know that NULs are favorite targets for compression techniques (along with spaces) but these are often single NULs. Telnet is a suspect but I can find no direct reference to this problem besides I'm pretty sure termcap/terminfo must use NULs.
I have tested with VT100, sco-ansi & wy50 emulations with no difference in outcome - Netterm has the option to capture the print data to file so I have no trouble running a hex editor on it and as I say NOT a NUL in sight!!.
Thx for the ref I will fire this off to netterm support & see what they say.

srec_dec_binary
srec_dec_binary(5) File Formats Manual srec_dec_binary(5)
NAME
srec_dec_binary - DEC Binary (XXDP) file format
DESCRIPTION
The DEC Binary (XXDP) format was used on the PDP 11 series machines. This is a binary format, and is not readable or editable with a text
editor. The file consists of records of the form
+-----+--------+---------+------------+----------+
|type | length | address | ...data... | checksum |
The field are defined as follows: +-----+--------+---------+------------+----------+
type Two byte little-endian value. Must always be 1.
length Two byte little-endian value. This is the number of bytes in the data, plus six.
address Two byte little-endian value. This is the load address of the data.
data The data is simple raw bytes. There are (length-6) of them.
checksum
The checcksum is a single byte. It is the negative of the simple summ of all the header and data bytes.
If the record length is exactly 6 (i.e. no data), this is the execution start address record, indicating the transfer address.
In addition there may be NUL padding characters between records. It is common for records to be padded so that they start on even byte
boundaries. In the days of paper tape, it was common for the file to have many leading NULs, to generate blank leader on the tape.
Size Multiplier
In general, raw binary data will expand in sized by approximately 1.03 times when represented with this format.
