Don,

I would get rid of the number/name combo and use just a number.

[175]
type=friend
host=192.168.0.175
defaultip=192.168.0.175
dtmfmode=inband
mailbox=175
context=sip
callerid="I am Don"
progressinband=no ;polycom's seem to have trouble with the default 
progressinband=never


In extensions.conf in your [sip] context add

exten => _17X,1,Macro(stdexten)
exten => _17X,2,Hangup
