I've googled around and tried a few things. The ideal solution would 
involve no library dependencies to make maintenance easier.

The specific problem I have is that I don't know what a IAX packet 
contains which elicits a measurable response from Asterisk. I have 
looked at the sources but it's very convoluted and the last time I 
touched any C was 7 years ago...

So if there was a way to "synthesize" this IAX PING or POKE packet it 
shouldn't be hard to just package that into a script that handles the 
connection establishment, sends it, and listens for a response.
