IAX2 has been a lemon since it's inception.  Sure, some people have
success.  It seems to work OK for IAXModem.

I think the problem is that from the slightest version change to
another, two boxes with different versions and many times the same
version don't work well.

I have been saying this for many years (check the archives) and have
been paid decent sums of money to say "Oh, you are using IAX, and
switch them to SIP", everything fixed instantly.

Do yourself a favor and ditch IAX2, maybe IAX3.6 might be production ready?
