[SR-Users] Issue using Kamailio as a proxy in front of Asterisk

[Stoyan Mihaylov]

We use Jitsi as SIP client, and openxcap along with camailio to handle
presence. Then jitsi know if account is online or offline.
Our Asterisk dont know nothing about accounts (it accepts all calls from
kamailio). There I run AGI scripts, which can check kamailio tables - and I
can know if account is online or offline. Of course this do not work if
account is "forced" to offline.
But may be there is better solution.
