I've recently discovered VNC, which makes the session portable, at
surprisingly low (sometimes negative!) performance degradation despite
being an added protocol layer over VPN.

I've toyed with the idea of connecting a subsystem dataset to the input
and output streams of a "batch" instance of IPCS and driving it
interactively through a nice gui. It has never been high enough priority
to do more than tinker with it and now I have no time at all for it.

The subsystem you need may already exist in OMVS with POSIX pipes.
WJS long ago posted on the Tools & Toys Page an OMVS interface to
batch SDSF. I modified it to use two processes, one running batch
SDSF, the other driving the display. Still cumbersome, but valuable
when I have a long-running 3270 TSO command and want to bypass it to
look at TSO. I'm sure the original IBM copyright notice forbids my
distributing a derivative work.

IIRC John M. started this thread with a question of whether there's
a SHARE requirement to remove all restrictions on concurrent TSO
sessions. I don't know; does anyone else? THere ought to be.
