Asterisk is a PBX that you can use to connect SIP clients to the PSTN
or voicemail /IVR applications.

SER is a SIP proxy that connects SIP clients to each other.

Asterisk handles all media streams through the asterisk server,
SER handles no media streams at all - it's up to the SIP clients to
set up the media between themselves.

So in an installation with many users, my preferred choice would be to
have both - they're solving different problems.

My 10 öre :-)
