Currently, I'm in the hobby end.  Mostly, I want a soft phone that
connects to my home asterisk server from wherever without having to drag
around another piece of hardware (ATA-186 or the like).  If it's going
to connect to an Asterisk server, it might as well use the asterisk
protocol.  Not having setup either, it looks to me like IAX is much
simpler to configure than SIP or H.323.

Basically, I want a dead simple way to use my home phone wherever I am.
I am almost never without my FreeBSD laptop.
