I'll avoid the SIP/IAX religious war that usually breaks out over this  
topic and actually provide an answer to your question.  :-)

Citel just announced an IAX hardphone not long ago.  I haven't used  
it, but maybe you'd want to give it a shot and let the rest of us know  
how it works.  As far as softphones, I'd say Zoiper has been my choice  
for a while - runs on Mac and Windows.   (note: these are not official  
recommendations; just random personal selections made with no  
discernible criteria other than "it seemed like a good idea at the  
time")
