Well, we did :-)
For X25-11M (Datapac, Transpac, as I recall) it involved using console
switches to jam certain status bits into a certain lowcore word in order to
convince the software it had initialized :-) For its successor, RSX-11M
PSI (or whatever its name was) there was some slightly cleaner way to do it.
This might well have been suitable for testing only, in that you promised
not to originate calls that would collide. Or maybe the magic was to change
address allocation for the fake-DCE end. Them brain cells have long since
vanished, sorry.
