[Asterisk-Users] *called* id name display?

Hello,

I've been using a Polycom IP 500 behind Asterisk for several months
now with fairly nice results.  Just for grins today I decided to
register it directly against Broadvoice, and I noticed a particularly
fascinating phenomenon.  When calling other Broadvoice users, upon
placing the call, my phone showed me the *called* user's name.  That's
really slick.  I've seen it happen on MGCP before, but never SIP.

I haven't done any packet traces yet to see exactly what's going on,
but perhaps someone here can save me the trouble.  Is there any way to
push this type of information to the phone from Asterisk?  If so, in
this particular circumstance, how would one capture it from
Broadvoice?

Thanks,
Jeff
