Hey ML,

 

The role of Ser and * are very different. * has been built as a PBX replacement first and foremost and so handles VOIP à PSTN integration, has a VM/conference/meetme etc server (although SEMS is becoming more and more advanced all the time) and performs transcoding etc.  However, it’s SIP implementation is difficult to work with for a high volume of users, it doesn’t handle presence, doesn’t support multiple logons by the same client etc.  SER is a fantastically performing high volume SIP proxy/redirect/registration agent etc with very flexible call processing and route processing logic.  Many people on this list use Ser as the point of contact for all SIP UA’s, and then forward to  * or a commercial product to do PSTN gateway relays.

 

Hope this helps

 

Dave
