iWar speaks IAX to exercise an Asterisk-compatible PBX, not directly
wardial VoIP phones.  Lets your wardialer both be disengaged from the
lines themselves as well as exercise the _much_ more line-dense
hardware those PBXes have.  You could probably use something like
sipsak to dial endpoints via the network, but it doesn't have the
integrated modem-detection and whatnot.

If it's not possible in your environment (pure IP?) to connect a
modem, how much more do you think the users will be able to?  What
value do you expect to gain from dialing a bunch of IP-only endpoints?
 Unless the company has analog lines hooked up to this VoIP space (via
FXS et. al.), seems you'd be wasting your time.
