Have you checked your firewall? Is it letting UDP data through to the 
asterisk box on port 4569?

iax2 debug

will generate lots of output for you...

   ps ax | grep asterisk

is crude, but visual.

Asterisk stores it's PID in /var/run/asterisk.pid, so you could then read 
that, and check to see if the process with that PID is actually running 
asterisk.

ie. see if /proc/<number> existis, and if-so, see if it's actually 
asterisk by reading /proc/<number>/cmdline

or just see if you can connect to it with the rasterisk command ...
