I would disagree with this. Virtually NONE of my customers configure 
display names. Primarily they don't want to be bothered. Besides if 
that's used for a control method users rapidly figure out if they change 
it themselves the behavior changes! They are smart like that. Better to 
control it on the server side if you can.

Years ago one of my customers had 64K data links to locations with ISDN 
BRI dial backup. Well that's 128K! (2x64K) They figured out that 
whenever that LED was on on the modem, indicating on the ISDN backup 
that things were much quicker. So they figured out to pull the RJ48 from 
the 64K line when they wanted it to be faster. Of course back then you 
paid long distance on those two 64K ISDN channels so it got expensive. 
But they are users. Users find a way. :-)
