I didn't understand this particular sentence. What else would you use?
Appletalk?

In previous versions of OSA/SF it was possible to use various ways of communication, including TCP/IP, non-IP (SNA) and TSO session via emulator. TSO session could use coax to 3174 or ...OSA in ICC mode. Fortunately ICC can be configured without operating system, via HMC. Like older 3174's.

BTW: AFAIK nowadays it's possible to have the only one OSA chpid (Express3-1P). Assuming you want to use SNA and IP you have catch 22 problem: you have to use the only chpid to communicate (*) with the system and you have to put the chpid in unavailable status to activate the definitions. Or maybe you can perform activation port by port (there are two ports). What's sure, you have to use one OSA for communication when going to configure another OSA.


(*) Let's forget about old CIP or 2216 with ESCON port

Yes, adding an option is always better than replacing it.
