When i did iax2 debug the above dial string placed the correct username where 
it should be.  the wiki (I thought) said that dial should be 
Dial(technology/password:username at machine_to_be_called) I will have to check 
again.

Thank You 1 and 2 did the trick worked and can now make unauthenticated calls 
at least.
