Hi Jerlique!
It all depends on requirements: - how many clients - do you want to operate your own PSTN gateway - are the clients behind NAT - ...
For example, if this is for a small office (20 clients sitting in an office, existing ISDN lines ...), then Asterisk alone will handle this - no need for ser.
If you are thinking of an ITSP setup with >= 1000 clients, then you will need a SIP proxy (e.g. ser) for user registration, call routing and NAT traversal. For PSTN connectivity you will have several PSTN Gateways (Asterisk or commercial ones) or you buy PSTN connectivity from a terminatione provider (nufone, level3, globalcrossing, ...).
regards, klaus

Hello,
I thought I would ask the list how people are using SER. We plan to use it in a production environment to be able to provide VOIP services to some clients.
How do companies such as vonage etc setup their systems, is it with SER handling REGISTRATIONS and all other UA requests, and asterisk as a backend which merely does media proxying?
Look forward to your answers...
