No, because HDLC and ISDN Q.921 would not come up.  That requires two 
distinct endpoints and a bidirectional traffic exchange.

I think some Sangoma cards have a mode where you can put the "port" in a 
certain kind of "loopback" mode for this type of thing, but I am not 
sure--and in any case, that is a different concept.
