Well I guess with a ser proxy in the network you don't want to register 
with asterisk. Maybe a call can be placed in a hold queue in asterisk 
and when a special extension is called, this can be catched with ser and 
maybe a REFER (ctd.sh?) request can be generated to asterisk?

Probably my imagination has gone wild:)
