Sure it was TrixBox 1.1 running on a VmWare virtual machine (great for
testing). We basically setup two "Trunks" as they are known is TrixBox
(Asterisk at home), one with each of the IAX accounts we setup on the
server end. Just to keep the confusion to a minimum, the TrixBox was
the client which was sending the calls to the Asterisk Server which
was terminating the calls to the PSTN.

If you are familiar with TrixBox Trunk Configs I can send you the
basic details of the settings in the GUI Trunk screen.
