It depends. On RSTS there are some line characteristics that don't belong there (left
over from the old days when circuit didn't exist yet) but also one or two that do. In
particular, DDCMP lines have a "receive buffers" parameter that lets you tune
how many buffers are given to that device. That's one of the few parameters that
matters. Oh yes, "verification" which should be a circuit parameter is a line
parameter instead, I'm not sure why.

As far as lines goes, yes, there is not too much information available on them.
From RSX to a VMS node, compared to another RSX node:
.ncp tell frost sho line qna-0 cha
Line characteristics as of 30-JUN-20 20:54:43
Line = QNA-0
Receive buffers = 10, Controller = Normal
Protocol = ETHERNET
Service timer = 4000
Hardware address = AA-00-04-00-FF-63
Buffer size = 1498
.ncp tell jocke sho lin una-0 cha
Line characteristics as of 30-JUN-20 20:55:00
Line = UNA-0
Controller = Normal
Counter timer = Off
Protocol = ETHERNET
Hardware address = AA-00-04-00-15-04
Controller CSR = 174510, Vector = 120
Priority = 5
.
Do people care about this information? Maybe not.
