No, and TBH even when you could, you couldn't because no NIC was actually a
complete implementation of X.25 and IIRC several of the cards were mutually
incompatible because of non-overlapping implementations.

As with all other old ****, there's still some about in government circles
but it's being ripped out because even the government blanches at shelling
out £800 a day consultancy fees to fix it.
