Out of curiosity, I tried setting up a VM/SP guest in VM/ESA and the RSCS NJE link works over a VCTCA, so it does look like the CTCE emulation (or my configuration of it) may be missing something.
On the other hand though Dutch, if running as a guest will work for your project, you now have a workaround for your issue.
On JS04 (VM/ESA):
?send rscs q v 621
RSCS??? : CTCA 0621 COUPLED TO? JS21???? 0600 SUBCHANNEL = 000A
RSCS??? : Ready;
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 04:52:58
?smsg rscs q js21
