No, it's core functionality, implemented in the channel drivers and using
control frames that pass through bridges. It would be a large amount of
effort to implement it again in 1.4/1.6. It extends well beyond simple
dialing, as it can receive updates across external protocols and pass them
along, it handles call redirection, and various other features.
