No, I wasn't even sure linux supported SCTC at all. Some things don't.
If SCTC is supported by linux, forget BCTC. My understanding is that
BCTC behaves more like a 3088 does. When SCTC first came along, only
VTAM and MVS/ESA XCF supported it.

It kind of looks like someone at IBM made a mistake, and replaced the
