<DIV>So then to take care of SIP phones that can only register with just ONE server SER must</DIV>
<DIV>work as a proxy and catch the ip information from REGISTER requests inorder</DIV>
<DIV>to pass a REFER or INVITE from a call generator engine. Clearly the major G/W's have</DIV>
<DIV>a solution for allowing NAT'd sip phones to call out. The challenge is for a solution </DIV>
<DIV>provider to stand in the middle and add features such as click to call, or simply </DIV>
<DIV>allow sip to sip calls as SERVERS such as ICONNECT which have no interest in offering</DIV>
<DIV>any service other than the PSTN G/W function.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Somehow SER can stand its ground as a middleman and offer the SIP clients</DIV>
<DIV>additional features such as sip to sip dialing and web dialing , or even a CHOICE</DIV>
<DIV>of commerical SERVERS. I guess some companies have figured this out and are</DIV>
<DIV>offering a solution ? As it would likely take a major s/w effort to create a </DIV>
<DIV>middleman solution based on SER ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thx</DIV>
