[Serusers] Username conventions with Asterisk as voicemail ???

[Iqbal]

I use numbers for all usernames in ser, and hence voicemail boxes in 
asterisk, makes it easier. All aliases are names, hence both work.

DID in separate table which is mapped to subscriber just like alias is, 
hence I do two lookups, one in aliases and one in DiD_table, I was going 
to drop aliases altogether , and may do in the future, but for those 
using softphones it's easier.

As for updating get asterisk to read from mysql, and then when you add a 
user simply create the voicemail entry in there.
