Hi
I think it can work but both my systems are on public. You can use pstn gateway without a DB, in fact if you only have one gateway you can just connect direct to it, via you digium interface.
The problem you will face are connecting ser to asterisk, and then deciding what should do what, I have asterisk doing all my call pickups etc, meetme and all, including voicemail, but since asterisk can also do transfers, and routing to other numbers, and so can ser, its can get a bit scary.
Also when you have the pbx you wil decide to have another numbering scheme, like 3 digit internal extensions, these will need to be done in asterisk, and mapped in asterisk, cause in asterisk you can have the same extension for diff "companies", I couldn't see howto do that in SER.

Thanks Iqbal. I got some Digium cards now and I was able to make the asterisk work as a simple pbx. I'll be going to try it out now as a pstn gateway with SER. Though Im not sure if what I have in mind can work. My ser is on the public domain (that is it has a public ip) and my asterisk/pstsn gateway is inside the nat network. From the experience of users here, can this kind of setup work?Btw I have my nat sip aware. Also can I implement the pstn gateway without using any database like mysql or postgre?
Feel free anyone to reply.
Thanks!
