[OpenSER-Users] Set up two SIP to PSTN calls and then connect them

[CSB]

Thanks. The problem with the Asterisk scripts I've seen is that you don't
end up with two accounting transactions.

With the SEMS solution what generates the INVITE? You say that it can be
accounted on OpenSER. If so does that imply that OpenSER generates the
INVITE which is then passed on to SEMS? If so presumably that could be
adapted for OpenSER to Asterisk.

Right. The problem with the Refer is that not all UAs support it 
correctly (at least the last time I tried, which - I have to admit - was 
a year ago), and it might be tricky to account it correctly.

With the SEMS solution, there are two separate invites which are 
authenticated using the user you pass to the script, so it's easy to 
account it on OpenSER and it doesn't depend on the help of the UAs. But 
you have to set up SEMS, which adds another external dependency to your 
system, as Bogdan points out.

On the other hand, if you already use Asterisk, you can also use that 
one to implement click2dial (a quick google check shows there are some 
scripts available).
