This feature is in Asterisk trunk and will be present in the upcoming 1.8 
release. By setting sendrpid=yes on A's phone, Asterisk will send a 
Remote-Party-ID header that corresponds to what Asterisk received from B. Also, 
there is a CONNECTEDLINE() dialplan function that can be used to send this 
information prior to a call. I actually gave a presentation on this topic at 
Astricon last year, but for some reason the Astricon '09 archive does not seem 
to have my presentation video available.
