[Asterisk-Users] Called name delivery

Is called name delivery supported by Asterisk and SIP?

On various PBX's, if you dial an extension (or a phone number stored in an
internal database), the caller's phone will display the called party's name
on the caller's phone.

This is really handy when you're dialing extensions you don't frequently
call; if 2012 is Bob and 2021 is Mary, you key in 2021 and "Mary" pops up
on the display, and you realize you are calling the wrong party.

I looked through the Cisco 7960 SIP admin guide and didn't see any obvious
references, though my selection of keywords could have been greater.
