This is not possible, because as I said, it has been this way for a
long time.  There are hardware-only gadgets out there (NCD X
terminals, for instance) that assume it works this way, and it cannot
be changed, just as you cannot change X away from its 6000 base.

It is far easier to change a proxy.
