-
- I. Overview of the Internet Gopher Radio Hack.
-
- The Internet Gopher is a distributed document delivery service. It
- allows a neophyte user to access various types of data residing on
- multiple hosts in a seamless fashion. This is accomplished by
- presenting the user a hierarchical arrangement of documents and by
- using a client-server communications model. The Internet Gopher
- Radio Server and client allows one to listen to real-time digitized
- sound across a network.
-
-
- II. Installing radio and radiod.
-
- Since this is just a hack, refer to the Gopher client and server for
- more information.
-
- Currently the only platforms that this works on are sun and Next.
-
- III. Using radio and radiod.
-
- First attach a source of live sound to a machine. Now run the radio
- daemon, "radiod". (If you have a NeXT you will have to install the
- play and record programs provided.).
-
- Now type radio <hostname> <portnum> on another machine with audio
- capabilities. You should be able to hear what's being digitized on
- the other end.
-
- Hint:
-
- To get the input level set right do the following on the server:
-
- straylight% record - |play -
-
- This will digitize and play on the local machine.
