You don't need an ATM address (E.164) to set up a PVC.
To configure a PVC between 128.252.200.1 and 128.252.200.2 with a VCI
value of 201 (0xc9):
en0)
# ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
# route add -iface 128.252.200.2 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
pvc0)
# pvcsif en0
# ifconfig pvc0 128.252.200.1 128.252.200.2 netmask 0xffffff00
# pvctxctl pvc0 201 -p 0

en0 doesn't handle multicast but pvc0 does.
