It can, however how difficult this is varies greatly on the mapping
between old and new 6xxx numbers.

If you are using 1.1 or 1.2 code you can do this:

exten => _6xxx,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN},60,M(dialexten^${EXTEN}))

[macro-dialexten]
exten => s,1,wait(2)
exten => senddtmf(${arg1})


This causes asterisk to pattern match 6xxx where x is 0-9.  When the
called party answers the macro dialexten is called and that will send
the dtmf of the extension in question.  If the two are the same then no
translation is needed, if they are different then you have to play games
to match the new with the old.
