[Serusers] Duplicate SIP messages?

Its Sunday night, so please double check anything I write :-)

Although I cant be a 100% for sure it seems as if you SER is just sending
another INVITE this could be due to not receiving a reply in time, how
long b4 the reply comes from the itsp, I think default in ser is 120secs
or something.

If this is not the case, any chance of seeing what the itsp is throwing
up when you send a request, might be something to do with the sdp,
although ser doesnt really do much when it comes to codec/sdp parameter
negotiation
