[Serusers] Re: How to change Caller ID in FROM field ?

[lawrence k.y. lin]

Hi Kristian.

  Thanks for your email.
  I am using ser 0.9.6 and did not find uac_replace_from function. Then I 
did a search and found that it is in openser. I did install openser and it 
worked.
  Do you or anyone know if this function will be added into ser release ?
  Please advise, thanks,

Larry
