[Serdev] enhancement to group module

[Chris Crawford]

I suppose KPhone does not offer anonymous caller id?

In any case, the enhancement offers administrators the ability to
identify the caller's ACL in through one additional field.  If they are
not identifiable in any of the fields, credentials, From or Contact,
then call should fail as the implementation is not supported by ser.  It
could be noted that iff anonymous caller id is used, authentication mode
is the only way to identify the source, but that just seems to impose an
architecture upon an administrator.
