I know this may be a stupid question, but I would love to know the 
answer to it.  This question was posted earlier this month with 
apparently no replies.  Exactly why would you combine SER with Asterisk? 
  Like the OP said, Asterisk already handles SIP, and seems to do a good 
job of it, so why use SER?

Thanks,
Chris
