The '-e' parameter should be the last on the xterm command line:

xterm -geometry 69x2+581+711 -T UPSstats -e telnet localhost UPSstats &

Give the xterm instance a unique name (UPSstats) with the command line
option '-name' (this will also set the title name so with this you
dont need the '-T' option)  and then in your .fvwm(2)rc make an appropriate
'Style' line.

Style "UPSstats" Sticky
