Douglas,

	I have found the OpenSER documentation to be quite good.  While they 
often don't give a view of the whole picture, they are very good at 
explaining the purpose, parameters, and functions of each module. 
Example configurations of how each module interacts with other modules 
can be hard to find, but once you understand a few dozen main functions 
in the ~20 or so very useful modules, you can do just about anything.

	I will say that avpops is by far the most confusing!
