Yes, but the TN3270E header contains just what is needed for the
protocol, no other fields, and is completely defined in the RFC itself.

I would suspect the most widely-used implementation of tn3270 is
the Berkeley Unix version, and it, as well as my Mac client, have
no support for SNA other than recognizing an alternate set of
command codes.
