Teradyne has a few people at this facility (San Jose), and we make many calls per day to the home office in Boston, which recently went to DID (or its modern equivalent). Finally, I can program my Superset 4 with the fully-qualified phone numbers of the handful of people I talk to routinely, without having to dial the "main" number and wait (and pray) and dial an extension. Now that this is possible, I want to set things up so that I can dial an "extension" (2xxx or 3xxx) on my phone, and have it somehow prepend the area code and exchange and hand it to a CO loop. (It already buffers the entire number and outdials it, so this should be possible.) No way, say the few people I have asked who ought to know. But I think they probably have a vested interest in not having to take the trouble to figure it out. I have no knowledge of the switch itself, or any apparent access to its features: I have to pay some moron $100/hour to come and do adds&changes (which I have managed to avoid doing so far). Note that this is the INVERSE of the usual "off-premises extension". Is this possible without spending a lot of money? Is it possible at all?
