AmTALK II - 2.2
===============
AmTALK II is a combined server/client for the Internet TALK
protocol for point-to-point online chatting.
AmTALK II has the following highlites:
- fully multithreaded for several talk sessions at once.
- auto answer facility to accept talk requests and store
incoming messages. Can be triggered manually or by
a user-definable timeout. Optional auto answer
information icon on workbench displaying number
of new and unread messages.
- "Locate" function to locate an AmTALK II user on a dynamic
IP address even if you don't know the exact IP number
he is using right now.
- history of last used talk addresses for easy access.
- user configurable sounds for notification of incoming talk
requests and successfully established talk links and more...
- userlist to store frequently used talk partners,
with aliasing for easy talk start and specificable
access privilleges (override auto answer,
refuse/ignore always, locate always etc.)
- can be started from inetd, or reside resident in
the background, activated by hotkey.
- supports clipboard Copy & Paste from talk windows.
- keeps a full log of incoming talk requests.
- supports session log save in ANSI or plain text mode
- nice and friendly GUI to start talks, control
operation and configuration
- handles incoming talk requests with "wrong" usernames
gracefully.
- keyboard resethandler to gracefully close active talk
requests upon a soft reset.
- works with Genesis, AmiTCP, Miami and as225r2-derived TCP/IP stacks.
NOTE: the provided Installer script doesn't work with the old OS 1.3
1.24/1.25 versions of Installer. Please get Installer-43_3.lha from AmiNet
(/util/misc) or from ftp.vapor.com, /pub/misc/Installer-43_3.lha.
AmTALK 2.x uses different keyfiles than AmTALK 1.x; however, the
upgrade is totally free. New keyfiles have already been mailed out
to everyone who registered AmTALK 1.x, if you didn't receive yours,
please mail to <keyfile-update@vapor.com>, stating when and where
you originally registered.
