I have posted fresh builds (they're still warm, so be careful) on sourceforge:

http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/iaxcomm-win-20040212.exe
http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/iaxcomm-lin-20040212

I've tested both clients, and they no longer drop connection after 65 seconds
when they're on the same side of the firewall as the asterisk server.

If there's any NATing involved, the same problem is back.
