There is an IETF draft RFC for the IAX2 protocol:

  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-guy-iax-04.txt

Note that when we talk about "IAX" protocol we almost always mean
"IAX2" protocol. The original IAX protocol was short lived and I do
not believe there to be any implementations in the wild.

Asterisk is the de facto IAX2 server. After all IAX is Inter-Asterisk
Exchange protocol.

  http://www.asterisk.org/

I think most iaxclient users are probably using asterisk on the server
side. Asterisk has a module called "chan_iax2" that implements the
IAX2 protocol.

No problem. Best luck to you.
