Hi Evan,

This is not possible with current ekiga.  It should not be difficult to 
add it, it is just a matter to check in ekiga code 
(src/gui/main_window.cpp or main.cpp) if the SIP caller matches one 
entry in the addressbook.

You should create a bug report for this.  Better, provide us a patch 
(http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Download_Ekiga_sources) and it will be 
in the next release!
