Application layer encryption is preferred, then the PBX can rest assured
that a session is encrypted point to point. With VPNs, the PBX doesn't
have a clue if the call is protected or not.

I think IAX2 session encryption is important. For E911 calls (coming
IETF standards) encryption from point to point will be mandatory.
So we'd better fix this.

I would also like to see Windows IAX clients implementing IAX2
key authentication. Hint, hint.

Have a notion that someone down there is feeling the pressure :-)
