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.
