I mean this in the nicest way possible: you are 100% correct. IAX is a
tool of either (1) People whose work never ventures beyond the scope of

beyond that universe and who imagine commercial VoIP offerings to be
based around Asterisk, even as their VoIP platform requirements outgrow
it by leaps and bounds.
