They used to be accessed by TCAM as well. If your complaint is that
the CONSOLE address space can't access them directly, but only as SNA
consoles, that would require that the entire cluster be used for
nothing but consoles, or that the CONSOLE address space was bloated
with MSNF code.

There is no support for bisynch consoles.

Another case where IBM developers failed to learn from earlier IBM
projects; TSS/360 had page oriented PDS[1] support way back when.
[1] Actually, the entire volume containing a VPAM library was page
formatted.
