Channels are unique to the host machine.  So, on your second
machine, you should have 'fxoks=1'.  It's erroring out because it
has a channel 1, but no channel 2.

Of course, you'll also need to set up iax.conf such that the two
machines see each other, and set up extensions.conf such that
when you communicate with the other machine, you Dial the
IAX resource.
