Actually, when I was a technician for CN Telecommunications, back in the 
70s, we had test sets for doing that with serial connections. Of course, 
these would be connecting different locations, sometimes across the 
country, not within an office.  Later on, there were Bit Error Rate 
Testers (BERT), for high speed connections.
