Short: AmiTCP based voice chat program
Author: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
Version: 1.90
Type: comm/net
Replaces: comm/net/AmiPhone1.80.lha
Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AmiTCP3.0b+, audio digitizer
----------------------------------------------------------------
AMIPHONE 1.90
(Released 5/28/96)
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a public release of my TCP/IP based voice chat software.
With it and a digitizer and microphone, you can transmit your
voice over the Internet or a LAN to another Amiga or Amigas that
are running AmiPhone.
AmiPhone uses ADPCM audio compression to allow transmission through
low-bandwidth connections. Thus, a conversation is possible even
over 14.4kbit/second modems. Of course, more bandwidth is desirable.
AmiPhone requires Workbench 2.04 or higher, AmiTCP 3.0b or higher,
and a Toccata board, Aura PCMCIA sampler, or a standard parallel
port style digitizer with a microphone. Also, a fast CPU is
highly recommended.
NOTE: AmiPhone is not compatible with I-Phone or any other
Internet-phone type program at this time.
New in version 1.90:
- Added a Flush Buffers item to AmiPhoned's Project Menu.
- Added an ARexx port to AmiPhone.
- Added my email address to the "About" requesters.
- Added the official AmiPhone Practical joke to the FAQ. ;)
- Finished writing code for, and enabled the AHI sampler
interface. Of course, as I don't have an AHI-supported
sampler, this interface is COMPLETELY untested... so don't
say you weren't warned when it {doesn't work/crashes your
Amiga/neuters your cat/whatever}. :)
- The microphone volume monitor is now updated once per transmitted
packet, rather than whenever the bandwidth graph is updated.
* Reworked the Toccata support, with testing help from Oliver Hotz
and Dan (err, just Dan, apparently ;)). Thanks guys!
* AmiPhoned no longer plays remaining packets when it quits; rather
it just frees them and leaves immediately.
* Rewrote the TCP stream sending and receiving code in AmiPhone
and AmiPhoned. Now all TCP sending and receiving is buffered
whenever necessary.
