Chapter 11 deals with Ethernet programming. It

the manual indicates that the .SPEC call is too complicated for Basic; use
Macro. The correct revision System Directives manual is not available at
'elvira' (yet?). However, if you could find the System Directives manual
for V9.4 or later, you should be able to do what you want with a .SPEC call.
I do have the System Directives manual for RSTS/E 9.7. While there are
various SPEC calls listed (including setting the mac address), there is
none listed for reading the default mac address. I know that it is
possible from user space, since show dev xh: will give the mac address.
Once I figure it out, I'll be sure to post the answer here.
