Assuming my analysis of the significance of *not* being able to use "Write 
Structured Field" (WSF) commands is correct, no, there is no "protocol 
overhead".

Assuming ..., again no, it is all "user data".

A "coax-attached" emulator behaving as a "Control Unit Terminal" will 
necessarily "see" outbound only "digested" "user data". Any "protocol overhead" 
will have been intercepted by the 3270 control unit.

Even if not "coax-attached", the "user data" data stream will map to the 
defined presentation space dimensions but there's no reason that the 
presentation space dimensions need limit the request unit.

Assuming ... and interpreting "DFT mode transfers" as "transfers where the use 
of WSF has been authorised" - or something like that!, there would appear to be 
no reason why the presentation space dimensions need limit anything!

Note that, while there are *two* modes of operation for an IND$FILE server, 
there are *three* modes of operation for an IND$FILE client.
