[asterisk-users] Show Callee name on Display

[Shane Young]

I don't think that  Asterisk currently sends a remote-party-id to the  
called party.  That would proably have to be added to the sip channel.

It *does* work with Broadworks, another SIP based phone system.

On a phone registered to Broadworks:

Your phone invites the Broadworks system, Broadworks replies with a  
180 (ringing) which includes a remote-party-id: field populated with  
the destination you are calling.  That is what displays on the Polycom  
and Sipura 841 that I have tried.

I had eneabled remote-party-id on a Cisco 7960, but something in the  
dialog caused the call to die.  I never investigated further.
