asterisk users - Nov 2008 - iPhone SIP or IAX client (without proxy)?

I checked the app store and haven't found anything promising, but I figured
I'd ask here.

Does anyone know of a SIP or IAX client for a non-jailbroken iPhone that will
communicate directly with a machine running Asterisk?

I know that there's at least one offering that seems like it's
essentially a proxy (App runs on iPhone, iPhone talks to 3rd party server, 3rd
party server talks to SIP service), but that's not an option we consider
viable.

Our Asterisk servers have no IP exposure to the outside world (everything in and
out is POTS)-and that's not going to change-but we're using Cisco
Security Appliances with VPN access from the outside. The iPhone has Cisco VPN
support "out of the box". Ideally, I'd like to get the phones that
aren't already on the VPN on the VPN, configure an extension for the phone
and give our folks (who split their time about 60% in the office 40% in the
field) access to the corporate phone system from the field without having to
fire up a laptop and pull out a headset.

TIA,

Lincoln

Lincoln,

Nothing is publicly available yet.  There's some incompatibilities  
between some open source licenses and the Apple licensing, that has  
delayed porting.

Siphon <http://code.google.com/p/siphon/> is what you are looking for,  
but it is currently in beta.

The beta does work with Asterisk over a Cisco VPN from the iPhone.
