I don't think it will Priscilla! Even with the encap HDLC, the DCD (carrier detect) control lead must be high in order for the interface status to be in an "up" condition. The only way I know to accomplish that is with a cable inserted or some type of serial loopback plug, if there's such an animal.
And obviously you can't have "line protocol" in an "up" state if the interface status isn't in an "up" state!
