[Serusers] text ased username & alias table

[Iqbal]

I had the same problem, a name was great on softphones, harphones are a
pain, and u got to realise that somewhere we're gonna have to use
numbers.

As for every user getting 82000 , how are u adding the numbers is it
using serweb, if so you need to look at the config file, where u have a
choice out of autoincrement or a random number.

I changed the logic so that when a user selects a name, it gets added to
alias, and the number generated gets added to subscriber. I dont
randomly generate numbers , instead I take them from the PSTN number
that I assign them, the last x number of digits. that way the number is
the main id, the alias is the name, it also makes it easier when u come
to do voicemail later on.
