Keep in mind that's a hard job. Some of the features may be
end-device feature and some may have different mimics than
you would expect. Also, it is not only specific telephony
features which matter: importantly, there are things such
as operational characteristics (performance, scalability)
and ability to introduce new features and integrate with web.

A way I do maintain privacy is I use a stupid user id
(You certainly know how much identity is dislocsed if you
 send from mr_goerge_w_bush at hotmail.com....)

>* Caller-ID blocking per call (like Bell *67): 

see above, a phone may maintain multiple identities, one of
them less informational than the other one.

>* Caller blocking: 

Yes -- we block requests from source causing annoying traffic.

>* Call Waiting (support more than one call): 

phone feature (see for example www.iptel.org/tt/ for such a phone)

>* International routing dial plan: 
>* Least-cost routing: 

all trivial config options

>* URI/Phone manipulation: Yes

just for sake of clarity: we have a STUN impelmentation, 
but it is separate from SER
