Express Talk VoIP Softphone Make phone calls using your PC or Mac. Works with almost any VoIP gateway provider or office PBX; Features include conferencing, recording, and voice commands; Configure up to 6 telephone lines on Express Talk. Express Talk works like a computer telephone. Call from your PC to any other computer with a softphone. There is a Cisco softphone that can be installed on Mac OS ie CUPC however it require CUPS(Cisco Unified Presence Server) for its configuration & Integration with Call Manager. Other than that you can use thrid party SIP client available as open source on google named ('x-lite) for MAC as a SIP endpoint in Call manager or CME. Cisco has the Unified Personal Communicator that will work with the Mac, but it requires Cisco Unified Presence. Your only option for a Mac softphone would be a 3rd party SIP client. I can't provide any guidance on that as I haven't tried to get a SIP softphone working with any express products.
iaxComm is targeted for the Win32, Linux and Mac OS X systems.I try to avoid anything that will cause a problem under Mac OS, but have noway of building or testing on a Mac.
The source code is in the simpleclient/iaxcomm subdirectory of theiaxclient source code tree, which is is available via SVN here.

My testing binaries are posted here, as a courtesy. If you compileiaxComm for another platform, please consider sending me a copy to posthere.
