I think that it's a dialer function - however it would be nice if other
applications could tell the dialer how to dial. Since dbus seems to be the
interface that's going to be used it might be nice to have the option there
too. In essence you can configure this option from the dialer or any other
application that sends a message via dbus - this seems the most flexible and
would allow an application to tell the dialer 'Please dial this number, via
VOIP'

IAX2 is excellent for point to point, It's a life saver (if not a marriage
saver) that means I can easily talk to my wife when I'm away. It links my
home asterisk box in .nl to the office one in the UK so I can work from
either place. Sure I could do the same with SIP/H323 etc but with IAX2 it's a
10 second job - fire and forget. Awesome, I love it.

Excellent, I'm happy to test it out on my 01 - Hey, I'm happy to put it on my
images by default once you're happy for it to go.

I value your code :)
I presume I should be looking at iaxclient_moko and ignoring the iaxclient
dir ?
