asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Question regarding SER/Asterisk functionality

Hi all,

I'm currently looking for a VoIP platform to support the following features:

Caller ID
Call Waiting with caller ID
Call Hold/Retrieve
Three-way conference
Calling Line Identity Presentation
Call back last missed call
Last called number redial
User line locking/Call Barring (all current levels)
Itemised bill
Call Forward
Call Forward on No Reply
Call Forward on Busy
Call Forward Unconditional
VoiceMail
- Message Waiting Indicator
- Call back option
Number Portability
Secret Number
Legal intercept
Emergency Number Routing
Anonymous Caller Rejection
Directory Service update
Feature code activation

I have looked into both SER and Asterisk, and found out that SER should 
be the most appropriate platform since most of the users will use a SIP 
adapter/endpoint and be located on the Internet (like most of the VoIP 
services these days).
So my question to the list is to gather some experiences and possible 
remarks/comments on which direction I should go :D

Any help would be gladly appreciated :-)

Geir,

Many of your items, such as Voicemail, are not supported by SER 
directly. It sounds, at least at this very early stage, as though you'd 
be better off with Asterisk as it supports all of these features, though 
perhaps with some development work. If need be, SER could front it for 
call routing and scalability.

My company, Integrics Ltd, can offer you formal advice on this, and can 
also provide installation and development services for both Asterisk and 
SER. If you'd like more details, drop me an email off list, or phone me 
on the number below.
