For what it's worth, the phone is getting enough information.  The first call 
works fine - it's the second call that never triggers the pickup screen, though 
it does cause the lamp to blink for that line.  It's like the phone understands 
"ringing" but not "busy+ringing".  I'm tempted to say it's a Polycom firmware 
issue, but I haven't seen an errata items that matches.

It sounds like the phone is not getting enough info to do a directed pickup, 
have you turned on NotifyCID in sip.conf? If that does'nt work try using  the 
extended BLF stuff (described here http://www.excaliburtech.net/archives/147 
and here http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+presence)

We have an Asterisk 1.8.4 system, with Polycom IP550 phones running firmware 
3.2.3.  If someone on the 'buddy list' - the list of other extensions to watch 
- is called, the phone gets a NOTIFY event and displays a screen with the call 
information and a pickup softkey.

However, if someone on that list is already on the phone and they get a second 
incoming call, the NOTIFY event comes in but the phone never displays the 
changed screen with the pickup button.  It'll flash the light next to that 
extension, but that's it.

Is anyone using a similar setup and seeing this?  It's somewhat rare, but I 
have an office location where everyone there likes to pick up other people's 
calls, and they haven't been using a call queue like they oughta.
