asterisk users - Sep 2007 - Show Callee name on Display

We have users with Cisco 7900 phones running sip.  When user A calls 
user B, we want user B's name to appear on user A's phone.  It shows the
extension they call, but not the internal name of the called user.  Is 
this possible?  We have some people that used to be on an MGCP based 
system and they would get the callee's name popup on their phone when 
they called someone.  I can't figure out if it is possible or if it is 
just a limitation of the Cisco SIP firmware.

Just to clarify with an example:

1 - Steve
2 - David

David calls ext 1.  Right now it says "calling 1".  We want it to say 
"calling Steve 1".

It is not possible to do this the way you want.  Most phones will 
display the called name if that name/number is in the phone's directory.

And it works - I am using it for months already.

Note that not all phones support it. Cisco and Policom supports it, while Snom
does not.
