My understanding is that the protocol (to use the word loosely, and it is more of a protocol than an interface) is a protocol which was developed in Bell Labs/AT&T back in the good old days before there was any difference between the two to facilitate standard TTY communications between central offices/serving offices. Evidently it was used primarily for diagnostic and test control. The name "Snyder" protocol came from the person who developed it. Common useage is found primarily among telco types.
