I agree, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise.  What I was trying 
to say was that since there is no SNA session (LU-LU or SSCP-LU) 
with the client, any SSCP-ish functions needed by the client are 
supplied by the Tn3270 server.  That includes a subset of USS
functions.  

The pass-through kind of server (like the Tn3270 servers on Cisco's
channel-attached routers)  pass the commands and messages
between the server and the real SSCP-LU sessions.   Servers like
in z/CS emulate any SSCP functions provided.
