 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *is* the command prompt

You *do* have a command prompt.

"Installing" iaxComm did not break anything.  When you untar the tar file, you
get an executable, two text files called QUICKSTART and README and a 16 bit pcm
file called ringtone.raw.  No shared libraries.  No changes to any .conf files

When run, iaxComm creates a lockfile ~/iaxComm.lock to prevent two instances
from running at the same time.  It also creates a config file of its own,
~/.iaxComm.  Neither of these files will conflict with asxterisk in any way.

I think this is a result of asterisk not recognizing your sound card
