have you altered the smc definition?  It should be as follows:
smc;script;srancid
smc;login;hlogin

and that works properly.  you would add a definition similar this to
etc/rancid.type.conf for your own v2-like (or v3) script.  see the manpage.

Our 3COMs are so old I doubt it (the oldest we have running were installed around 1990 I think, with further installations until sometime 1999 - 2002).  But, it can’t hurt to check, maybe we can restore rancid’s service to some of them at least.
