SNA is the protocol. Yes, they are usually intertwined. Like TCP and IP.

I actually have used TSO from a line mode telnet session. Yes, you can use the very old ways. If you actually know how to use things like the EDIT command. And the FIB JES commands (SUBMIT, OUTPUT, STATUS). I sincerely doubt anybody wants to do this. IMO, if you are willing to do "line mode" things in TSO, I would think that a UNIX shell prompt and the "tsocmd" UNIX command would be far more powerful.
