hi,
iax2 is secure
but, is not a good idea to avoid rtp and pass all packet including audio 
and signalisation troug the same port
and digium added some change to the IAX2 protocol so freeswitch is not 
up to date
no one want to update the iax2 stack in fs
so fs mod_iax have bean removedfrom the trunk
