Short: AmiTCP based voice chat program
Author: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
Version: 1.2B
Type: comm/net
Replaces: comm/net/AmiPhone1.1B.lha
Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AmiTCP3.0b+, audio digitizer
AmiPhone1.2B:
This is a public beta 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 or 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.
Embarrassingly enough, I found some nasty bugs in 1.1B just after
I released it. Here is v1.2B, with those bugs (hopefully) fixed,
and even a few new features!

NEW FOR AMIPHONE 1.2B:
- Bug fixes
- AmiPhoned now only allocates an audio channel when it actually
has sound data to play; and it deallocates it whenever it doesn't.
This means that you can now run more than 4 AmiPhoned's at once!
(Although not more than 4 will be able to play sound at any
given moment!)
- Added an error signal ('X') to the AmiPhoned title bar.
NEW FOR AMIPHONE 1.1B:
- The interrupt handlers have been rewritten to be more
efficient (enabling higher sampling rates on a given CPU)
- The Perfect Sound sampler should work better now, sampling
8 bit sound rather than 6.
- AmiPhoned now has menus.
- AmiPhoned can now relay sound packets to up to 10 other
AmiPhoned's, allowing a sound stream to be "broadcast"
from Amiga to Amiga.
- The AmiPhoned window can now be toggled on and off from
within the AmiPhone client window.
- The incoming sound signal can now be digitally amplified,
if desired.
- Plus other minor bugfixes and improvements!
