According to what I've read, you have to have a fully functional MS IM server running with phones registered to make Polycom work correctly. I threw together a PERL script that uses "core show hints" and "core show channels" together to give an "almost live" (.5 second or so delayed) line status.

As far as I can tell, that implementation has no "Early" state, and cannot therefore report Ringing. Polycom also support RLMI for BLF type behaviour, which is a full implementation, but this is not Asterisk compatible. There is a partial patch to add this in the bugtracker, but I have not tried it. If anyone knows otherwise, I would be interested to know it.
