[asterisk-users] Remote party ID - sort of working...

This line is just setting an ordinary channel variable.
What do you think is supposed to use this value?

> exten => 123,n,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(pres)=allowed)
> exten => 123,n,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(name,i)="Testing")

Please read about usage of the ,i in [1].  If anything you should have
the ,i on *all* of the CONNECTEDLINE lines *except* the last one before
a Dial.

> exten => 123,n,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(pres)=allowed)
> exten => 123,n,Dial(SIP/joesmithpolycomphone,20)

Since you are not using the 'I' option on Dial here, your preset
CONNECTEDLINE information is being overwritten by what is sent by
SIP/joesmithpolycomphone when it answers.
