IAX is junk.  Never figured out what causes the quality to be so poor,
maybe it is simultaneous usage, maybe it is trunking enabled, maybe it
is just junk.

It seems to work OK for single calls to boxes taking single calls but
beyond that, the audio is so bad it is not even worth the time trying
to figure it out.

SIP still rules.
