<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bug 002980 contains a patch that delivers MWI from
Asterisk to SIP clients registered with SER. It requires ast_data which doesn't
patch the current CVS HEAD. Since I need MWI and I want Asterisk and SER to
store data in a shared database I could:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- use an old version of Asterisk and install
ast_data. The patch author runs a large-scale clustered SER/Asterisk environment
and believes ast_data to be superior to "realtime". However "realtime" may now
have developed to the point that these objections are no longer relevant.
Specific problems still seem to be SIP clients behind NAT and voicemail
notifications (both very important to me)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- use realtime and write something that gives me
the functionality required and hope that the NAT and voicemail issues get fixed
soon. Apart from it being a pain to write this I also have not heard of anyone
using SER + Asterisk "realtime" in a large-scale production environment. If
anyone has had any such successes it would be good to know about
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would appreciate thoughts on these (or any other)
alternatives.</FONT></DIV>
