Which will cause some *very* strange behavior if you need to use LPR or
PPS for printing. That * for RSCSID gets PPS very confused -- it'll
transfer anything you try to print with PPS or LPR fn ft fm (ASYNC back
to your reader without explanation until you set the nodeid properly. . 

Doesn't everyone have at least the LPR/LPD functions of RSCS? If so,
then setting the default SYSTEM NETID to have a RSCSid of RSCS should be
correct (and cause PPS and friends to work out of the box).
