On the SX-200D it is relatively easy to do with ARS (Automatic Route Selection ... ala Least Cost Routing for you non- Mitel types.) You can have the 2 or 3 be additional ARS access digits and then have the routing table handle adding the extra digits. It's been a while since I've worked on a 200D, but that's my recollection. If you have an analog SX-200 or SX-100, then about the only I can think of would be using system speed dial. I don't think you could handle all of the extension that way though. I think you can only support 100 or less system speed dials (it depends on memory configuration). The only other idea I have would be to install Mitel SMART-1 dialers on your COs. You could program the dialer to add the extra digits. Kind of an expensive way to do it though, especially if you have a few lines.
