This is version 7.2 of John Walker's SpeakFreely Voice-Over-IP program.
This Amiga version was compiled by Brian Donahue (brian@tigger1.demon.co.uk)
AHI audio code supplied by AHI author Martin Blom. He's the MAN!!!
What you need:
An Amiga (duh!)
68030 CPU with FPU (I'm afraid anything less simply won't do)
IXEMUL.LIBRARY (available from Aminet or finer fishmongers)
IXNET.LIBRARY
A FULL-DUPLEX sound card
A parallel port sampler, if you don't have a soundcard
AHI (Audio Hardware Interface)
Why AHI?
It makes ports like this possible. I couldn't have done this using
audio.device without re-writing the whole program, don't you know.
Software notes:
I am not a programmer, so these might come in handy for someone who
actually knows what they're doing...
Compiler: gcc -m68040 -m68881 -lncurses -lm
External stuff: You need the Geek Gadgets ncurses developer package
to compile this.
AHI sampling rates are set at 8000Hz, good enough for voice.
Improvements in 7.2:
-Native code tightened up a bit
-SpeakFreely *SHOULD* exchange face files and load Multiview to display them
-Audio blocking enabled to speed things up
-TERMCAP library file included for users with no Geek Gadgets: assign GG: to
your speakfreely directory and the 'couldn't load terminal' error goes away.
-New support page opened (at least for a few years, anyway)
