I launched www.goiax.com last week, which is intended to promote the use of IAX as a free and open source alternative to products like skype. There is no charge for the service. Right now I have free outbound to united states toll-free and us domestic numbers working.

Currently the site hands out a virtual 87820-xxxxxxx number but I intend to add the ability to get a free United States DID [possibly other countries as well] as well.

Please test it out. You can use an IAXy, asterisk, or an IAX softphone like iaxcomm.

I intend to also modify asterisk to allow some QoS checking to avoid the problems IaxTel had with scalability. I would like some developer input on this. My idea right now is to add an app to asterisk that listens on a port for a status packet that will be sent from a softphone or IAX-compatible device. Asterisk would then reply with a packet that would contain current CPU load, current mem load, and number of channels up at that point. I would also like to have the asterisk app know the status of other IAX servers on that "network" and be able to reply with the IP address of the "best" available server at that time.
