- Short: AmiTCP based voice chat program
- Type: comm/net
- Author: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
- Uploader: jfriesne@ucsd.edu (Jeremy Friesner)
- Requires: Workbench 2.04+, AmiTCP3.0b+, audio digitizer
- Replaces: comm/net/AmiPhone1.1B.lha
- Version: 1.2B
-
- 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!
