Yes.

And then we can transport IAX over UDP over IP over PPP over
IAX over UDP over IP over PPP over IAX over UDP over IP over
PPP... and soon, we can completely waste bandwidth, doing nothing
at all.  No thanks.

No, then we transmit an AST_FRAME_TEXT.

If it is a raw network link, then we don't use IAX at all.  It is a completely
inappropriate use of the IAX protocol.
