You are saying the clients bind to 4569? You mean, an IAX client is
also a server? I always pictured clients accessing 4569 on the remote
machine they want to register with, and then they have a connection,
like email servers, web servers, ftp servers, etc. Once the connection
is made, the server can send signalling to it.

Am I picturing this wrong?
