A few IAX clients for Linux:

 * iaxcomm - http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/ . Mostly a demo 
   to the iaxclient library, I guess...
 * kiax - lately gathered some development again (what happened to the
   homepage)
 * yate/yate2 also has a gtk2 GUI. I haven't really played with them
   much and can't tell how practical (if at all) they are for this.
