I don't think it would have worked,
at least with unmodified DEC hardware I was familiar with, but YMMV.
You might dial up the baud rate on the terminal side,
but the computer side baud rate was usually fixed with solder jumpers.
Actually, it probably would have worked, as a common (although not required)
setup for HP terminals was that the serial interface in the host was set for
external baud rate, and the terminal provided the clocking. So while I can't
go from experience because I don't have a 264X terminal yet, I suspect it
would work.
