George Thanks for putting the doubters right. The key is "transparent" and "transparent mode".
It is documented. Under the description, ironically enough, of the "linemode" parameter we find the following "small print": <quote> Linemode Uses the line mode and prevents operation in the transparent mode. ... In transparent mode, the foreign host full-screen capabilities are functional on your local terminal. Transparent mode is the default. </quote> How strange I couldn't recall having used this function. The wages of age! I also checked back with my presentation notes on the topic - otherwise gathering dust - which date from the earliest days of TCP/IP for MVS. The use of "transparent mode" is covered there. This almost certainly means the function has always been there - coded in Pascal. That'll teach me to use my own sources before responding in future! So, in order to answer the original question "So who is right? Can I open a TN session to a host in another domain???" restated accurately as "Can I create a TELNET connection using 3270 data stream from one Communications Server IP component - using the TSO TELNET command - over an IP network to another Communications Server IP component - using the TN3270 server?" the answer is "Yes". You'll note that the restatement avoids the words "session" and "domain".
