You can, if you specify 1:2/3.1 in echocfg and provide a source address.

There seems to have been some definition drift with points. When I
started out, the whole idea behind a point was to have a mail-only or
private system that wasn't accessible during ZMH, or wasn't up 24/7. The
point initiated contact with the boss, and the point was, by design,
unreachable by systems using a nodelist.

The point would connect to the boss, not vice versa. Everything that was
to go to the point was routed through the boss first. No one, even the
boss, would need a direct route to the point.
