IDEFISK or Zoiper as it's called now. However, you'll need to do similar things to your asterisk box & router if it's behind NAT for IAX as you do for SIP. (You will need a static IP address on the NAT router and port-forward 4569 to the asterisk box, just as you'd port-forward 5060 and 10000-20000 for SIP) And a SIP phone behind a NAT router is also solvable if it supports STUN. I know that SIP behind NAT isn't perfect, but with care, it's very usable and workable. I have many installations doing just this, as I'm sure many others on the list have too.
