I do not think so. This is just like you try to connect two phones
with back-to-back RJ-11 cable to "simulate" a PSTN network. Do you
think it will work? :-)
The key concept in all switched networks (cell-switched or packet
switched) is that you need a switch (a DCE device) in between the
end (DTE) devices. In ISDN protocols, there is no TE-to-TE
interface defined. (Review the ISDN protocols' S/T/U interface
definitions and functions.)

Subject: [sc] back-to-back BRI
Can you connect two BRI or PRI interfaces back to back to simulate
ISDN or connect BRI to PRI directly? I don't have an ISDN simulator
but have BRI and PRI interfaces on my routers
