+Iaxclient is an open source, multiplatform library for creating telephony
+solutions that interoperate with Asterisk, the Open Source PBX.
+
+Although asterisk supports other VOIP protocols (including SIP, and
+with patches, H.323), IAX's simple, lightweight nature gives it several
+advantages, particularly in that it can operate easily through NAT and
+packet firewalls, and it is easily extensible and simple to understand.
+
+This requires portaudio, speex, and libvidcap.
