[Serusers] SIP INFO method

[Iqbal]

Hi

Not really sure what I want to do with it as yet :-), but was looking 
into the grandstream 102 phones, and they can send DTMF via the INFO 
method, which I think helps with call transfers, and then that got me 
thinking that if it could do this, then surely I could use the DTMF to 
make ser carry out a few more tasks, that initially I was going to pass 
into asterisk and let it do. Not sure what the downside is, except what 
you mentioned.
