Could someone give me a 10,000 foot view of what the differences are between Ser and Asterisk?
Asterisk is a PBX that you can use to connect SIP clients to the PSTN or voicemail /IVR applications.
SER is a SIP proxy that connects SIP clients to each other.
Asterisk handles all media streams through the asterisk server, SER handles no media streams at all - it's up to the SIP clients to set up the media between themselves.
So in an installation with many users, my preferred choice would be to have both - they're solving different problems.
Can they both exist on the same system and communicate with some degree of stability?
Both listen to UDP 5060 for SIP messages, so you'll have to use two IP-numbers and make sure both only listen to 5060 on one of the IP-numbers... Asterisk does not yet use TCP port 5060, a missing and already discussed piece of Asterisk.
