Are you sure that TSO and VTAM don't also support a negotiated BIND,
where the SLU sends back a different BIND image from what the PLU
sent? That's only relevant, of course, if your 3270 simulators has the
capability of doing so.

That's true for 3271/3275/3276/3278/3279 devices, but for more recent
devices the number of rows for primary need not be 24. In particular,
the 3180 and and the 3192 work just fine with a primary size of 43x80.
