The remote side is not sending the username to authenticate as (it's not 
shown in the NEW) so your Asterisk does not know who to authenticate it 
as, and thus chooses guest. As for host based matching - this doesn't 
happen as you might expect. You need to use permit and deny lines to get 
the user entry matched. Check into the sample iax.conf to see how to do 
this.
