I removed SER, I took the SIP_DOMAIN variable out of /etc/profile, I
rebooted, and I tried to install again, and it STILL doesn't work.

ser:/home/dolson# dpkg -i ser_0.8.14_i386.deb ser-mysql-module_0.8.14_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package ser.
(Reading database ... 10433 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking ser (from ser_0.8.14_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package ser-mysql-module.
Unpacking ser-mysql-module (from ser-mysql-module_0.8.14_i386.deb) ...
Setting up ser (0.8.14) ...
Restarting ser: ser

It just hangs there...

Does anyone even have any random ideas? I don't know what else to try,
I can't find any info on Google, can't find anything in the admin
guide, can't find anything anywhere. Is there a different SIP proxy
that I should be using? Please let me know. Thanks.
