Dang. I must be missing something then. I've modified the contacts directory, 
set bw and bb, can see the buddy on the second appeareance, have tried every 
imaginable combination of the hint command in extensions.conf and nada! :( The 
buddy never updates to show busy/not busy. I thought it was interesting too... 
in the Polycom admin guide it says on page 51 "Notification when a change in 
monitored status will be available in a subsequent release". That's for SIP 
version 1.6.x, dated July 2005. Beats the heck out of me how it works when 
Polycom says it doesn't!
 
Do you phones send SUBSCRIBE messages to Asterisk on boot? Do you see anything 
if you do a 'sip show subscriptions' for the phone?

        Nope, this isn't needed... I have an IP600 which registers to asterisk
        on button 1, another asterisk on button2, a third asterisk on button 3
        and then has a buddy/hint/monitoring on buttons 4 and 5 which are
        working against the first asterisk on button 1. Finally I have a speed
        dial on button 6...
        
        Then again, I've not got this working on a polycom IP 300 as yet...
