[Serusers] Limiting number of calls

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Well, just from my previous inquiry, you have my vote to write it.  
I'm also OK with your expectations about the module's accuracy. Maybe  
there is a way to persist the counter on a DB and let SER clear the  
counter(s) upon restart.

Thanks,
Waldo
