Either of these behaviors is extreme.  If there's another session,
I'd like it to prompt me:

     Another session is active.  R(econnect) or C(ancel)?

Is there any way to achieve this?  Bonus points if it were to tell
me if the active session has a compatible terminal type, and if not
which, since if I reconnect to ISPF with an incompatible terminal
type chaos ensues.  Dumb ISPF.

Yes, but you probably won't like it. The method is to implement a pre-logon exit, which entails doing your own screen I/O, error recovery, prompting for user id and password, etc.

As a bonus you can allow multiple TSO sessions on the same system, something not recommended for the faint of heart.
