asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Ser and Asterisk together

Anybody out there use Ser along with *? Any advantages disadvantages? Is
this even a good idea?

We are using ser together with *. Ser is used as a SIP proxy/registrar, * is
used as a sip - pstn gateway and voicemail/forward/conference server.
Advanteges - scalable, very large number of sip clients with easier
radius/database user management, advanced sip logic/routing options, better
sip interoperability
disadvantages - you've got two boxes, no iax on ser so you still have to
manage iax users on asterisk
In my opinion, if you plan to deploy large number of sip clients - it's a
good idea

Our's is only  a SIP based system and we use SER in front of Asterisk  as 
SIP Proxy/Registrar. Asterisk is mainly used as a Media Server that plays 
IVR and for voice mails. Yes, it is highly scalable and database management 
is easy.  We dont have SIP peers for Asterisk. It just plays the IVR and 
routes the call back to SER when it receives dtmf.  As told  by OEJ in a 
mail off the list,  it is nothing but just a SIP call for Asterisk. 
Currently our system is under testing.

We are using only one box, SER is on 5060 and Asterisk on a different port.

Very true.
