Hi,
I too can provide you some inputs on this apart from the things which are already mentioned:
1. You may require a media server for playing prompts, announcements, etc 2. Voice mail server to store and play back voice mails 3. Signaling + Media Gateway if you want to connect to PSTN world 4. Any good performance management/monitoring tool (normally part of OSS) to measure and manage the performance of the entire infrastructure to assure zero/minimum downtime
Regards,
Benjamin.

It's a fairly big questions you're asking. But basically you're onto it ;-) Ad 1. You should go for something newer than 9.0 Ad 2. You need to decide on your maintenance schedule and policies for upgrades/patching etc. Many larger-scale deployments are based on SER 0.9.x because a) it has proven extremely stable b) it is currently maintained for bug and security fixes and will be for a while. Others choose openser to get more features, but you need to make sure that you can handle testing and deployment of new versions more often. Ad 3. You need a RADIUS server with a user database or you can use mysql (you need mysql regardless of using RADIUS or not)

Sir,
I would like to know how can start a successful SIP base VOIP business. I have being going through some documentation of Open server software but could not come to a conclusion.
Anybody can suggest me a complete solution for running PC to Phone service Using GPL products, with accounting, authentication and authorization with different rate Plans etc.
Here is what I have decided to do.
SIP Server (Hardware)
1. Linux RedHat 9.0
2. OpenSer or SIP express router
3. Radius client
Accounting /CDR server ( Hardware)
1. Linux Redhat 9.0
2. CDRTool by ag-projects http://www.ag-projects.co http://www.ag-projects.co m/cdrtool.html
3. MySQL
1.Carrirer
Subcription to any International whole sale VOIP carrier
Please suggest if I have missed anything out.

Boils down to Asterisk+SER I guess.
You can use asterisk as a voicemail server+media server+CDR and SER as a SIP router. (connection to PSTN/termination gateway?)
Asteriskathome provides most software bundled. worth giving a try.
