    We have an asterisk frontend terminating all our SIP phones to, and an
    asterisk backend with a wildcard PRI card in it connecting to the PTSN.
    The frontend handles 99% of dialplan logic and just hands off anything
    outgoing to the backend via IAX2, which dials out on one of the open
    channels.


IAX is buggy.  We've never seen a reliable system using it.  We've given up on 
it.
I have seen this assertion from time to time, but never any real details

There is a world wide network of users who communicate using IAX, and many with 
PSTN service from providers using IAX. with no complaints
Can someone please provide meaningful details on what "buggy" really means? 
Rather than such a sweeping condemnation. If it is so buggy, why isn't it either fixed or 
discontinued?

It certainly is much less prone to hacking and abuse than SIP. Probably not due 
to the protocol design as much as it isn't as universal
