asterisk users - Mar 2006 - how to show called name on calling polycom display

Hi,
we have an asterisk 1.2.1 box and 2 polycom SIP phones. We'd like to 
show the called name on the calling polycom display instead of his /her 
extensions as I do with the caller name on the called polycom.
Is it possible? If yes, how?

TIA

I believe something like this is being worked on in the bugtracker at
bugs.digium.com.  I don't remember how far along the project is
though.

If this is possible, it would be quite complicated to do.  This would take
some tricky XML hacking on the Polycom side to read this info and display it
on the phone's screen, and some even more clever way to send this info from
the asterisk machine.

I was looking for this exactly as well....

Any ideas?
