And pronounced "eeks" aparently...

Not been around as long as SIP or h.323, but lightweight and easy to get
through firewalls. The code is open, free, etc. too. Originally intended
to connect Asterisk boxes together, there are a small number of soft-phones
(eg. Zoiper) which support it and an ATA (The IAXy) and a small number
of desk phones supporting it too.

I've dozens of asterisk boxes talking to each other via IAX and it "just
works" for me with most sensible routers. For "trunking" between systems
the overhead is less than SIP which helps squeeze every bit out of
marginal lines (when I have to).
