Yes, I've been having problems as well but had not taken the time to diagnose
the problem. Just did some looking and it appears iaxtel.com has removed
the iax v1 support. iax2 seems to be working fine.

A test call to an 800 number (via iaxtel.com) received an icmp port unreachable
for udp/5036 indicating their server no longer has any iax functions listening
on that port.

In your extensions.conf, look for:
exten => _1800NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX/myname:mypassword at iaxtel.com/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)

and change it to something like:
exten => _1800NXXXXXX,1,Dial(IAX2/myname:mypassword at iaxtel.com/${EXTEN}@iaxtel)
                                ^
and reload asterisk.  You may have other config files that also need to be
updated as well.
