[Serusers] Re: mappig names to numbers for voicemail via asterisk

[Iqbal]

I agree, I think asterisk is far more advanced (no flames please) that
SEMS, and if you dont need ser at the front end, for some lightweight
small pbx setups, then u can drop them directly into asterisk, by
routing ur inbounds to the asterisk box instead of ser.

Voicemail is really cool on it, as Steve explained below, but I am trying
to setup my MWI for my ser users using asterisk, and what Java posted
sometime ago using sipsak and sending NOTIFY back to ser.

PS I havent really tried SEMS, so this is a little biased :-)
