Aside from those who run their own asterisk server, remember those who
just use an iax itsp!
Anyways, I have been working on the core and backend library
(iaxclient) of mokoiax.
You can read about a release I did of a command line based version for
the openmoko (installable through ipkg) on http://bkruse.com.
I am also looking for developers.
To give a quick idea, I started working on a gtk version (mokoiax)
designed specifically for the moko when I then realized why not tie it
into the dialer application itself?
Anyways, let me know your thoughts.
Let me know if you want to help by emailing me at this address or [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
( this is in no way affiliated with digium, I just happen to work
there :) )

I too run my own asterisk server. I'd think IAX support on an OM
client would be critical (at least untill were all on ipv6). The
only reason you'd run a voip client on OM is so you can roam from
voip to GSM with a preference to VOIP when wifi is available so
supporting IAX would make this as painful as possible.
Excellent idea! I'd be happy to help with anything other than
coding once I get a freerunner.

Thanks for all the input!
To clarify:
I have already set this this system up using linux/win/mac IAX
clients and
it works great. Reliability is very high (no failures within the 4
months
I've had it up) with my dedicated asterisk server running off my DSL
connection (QoS on with a linux router). If the asterisk server
cannot
reach me via a VoIP connection, it fallsback to calling my cell phone
number. If the asterisk box fails for whatever reason, my VoIP
provider has
a fallback number to dial as well. The asterisk server just has a
VoIP
account for inbound and outbound calls, no analog lines are
connected.
The cost benefit here would be the ability to accept a lower plan
from your
cell provider (possibly data-only when 3G is available?), or even
use a
prepaid service with the smartphone. I am currently using a per-
minute
VoIP/POTS termination plan with no monthly fee, which works out to
be much
cheaper with the lower cellular plan.
I have not wrote the application as of yet, I wanted to gauge
interest for a
project like this. If I do write this application, I would like to
implement encryption along the way. In addition, I would set up an
asterisk
box at our business location for testing within a larger userbase.
The
reason I prefer to use a full asterisk system is the ability to
integrate it
within our business.
I prefer IAX over SIP because it is NAT routeable, whereas SIP has
many
issues with firewall traversal. In reality, the client should
support both.
Keep it coming! :-)
