[Serusers] Do ser + asterisk_b2bua work ?

[Charles Wang]

Dear Mike:

There is only a little bit explain in your package "b2bua_asterisk_v0.1.1.tgz".

README:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asterisk B2BUA project.

Installation:
Compile and install asterisk from asterisk_b2bua.tgz

Install perl MD5 Package.
edit agi/config.pl
in extensions.conf call agi script from DeadAGI.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems not enough for a new user like me to understand what it is
and how to start.

I have established the Asterisk as your explain, but I don't know how
to setup asterisk to accept my call from ser. Of cause, I know how to
route my call from UA to SER then route to a Trunking gateway or
Asterisk.

But how to setting Asterisk? It is a BIG problem for me.

Thank you for your kind to answer my question, Mike.

Best Regard
Charles
