Sorry everybody, this is confusing. "linemode" in this context has nothing
to do with Telnet linemode. It simply means the mainframe is presenting
a traditional line-at-a-time prompt-and-command interface (which happens to
be half duplex) rather than a fullscreen 3270 (screen-at-a-time) interface.
Mainframe linemode sessions can be accessed by any Telnet client, even if it
does not implement Telnet linemode. (Telnet linemode, by the way, is an
arrangement in which the Telnet client sends a line a time, rather than a
character at a time, and allows for local editing.)

P.S. MS-DOS Kermit does not implement Telnet linemode either.
