Looks like OS/390 V2R4 (Sept 1997?) contained "A new TCP/IP stack, for 
applications using OS/390 UNIX System Services (formerly called OpenEdition) 
sockets".

Prior to that was TCP/IP Version 3 Release 2, which I believe was based on a 
port of TCP/IP for VM (and written in Pascal!).  Or something like that.

I have a vague recollection that in the early 1990s IBM provided a TCP/IP stack 
on MVS that was ported from VM, but sometime in the OS/390 era it was replaced 
by a new Unix-based implementation.
