I find myself with an interest in, but no knowledge of, TCP/IP running
on an MVS environment.  I am familier with TCP/IP services like Telnet
and FTP, along with knowledge that tn3278 can be run on MVS to allow
full-screen 3278 emulation over telnet.

I also have a good background in MVS environment along with TSO, so 
I've got that part down too.  My interest is in knowing how IBM
implements TCP/IP on the MVS host and how the services look both
to an incoming TCP/IP user (ie telnet) and to the local system.

Specific questions:  
If I telnet to an MVS machine, do I get a VTAM MSG10 or am I logging
on directly to a subsystem like TSO?

If I ftp to an MVS system, and do a directory, will I see my own
account's directory as though I was doing a high-level qualifier
(ie. ISPF 3.4)?  What meaning does CD under MVS have?  How about
pulling or pushing (get/put) a member in a PDS?  Possible?  What
does the command look like to the ftp user?

thanks for any help, and if you don't mind me continuing to contact
you via e-mail for future questions, let me know.
(yes, I read the newsgroup, so posting is okay as well).
