Document Registration procedure

 This file documents what is disabled in the Unregistered version.
 It also documents the registration procedure.  Please read it carefully.

1. UNREGISTERED version

 The UNREGISTERED version is freely distributable, as long as
 it remains in the original archive as shipped by the author.  You
 may not sell the UNREGISTERED version for profit.  Only a minimal
 copying fee may be charged.

 You are legally entitled to use the UNREGISTERED version for
 as long as you like, as long as the programs are *not* modified in
 any way.  For example, you are not allowed to remove the requesters,
 change any of the texts within the program, etc.  You are *not*
 allowed to close the "annoying" window by using any external
 program.  This window is meant to be a constant reminder that
 you are using an UNREGISTERED version of AVM.  If you find it
 useful, I would really appreciate it if you would register the
 program.  That *is* the best way to get this program to
 improve.  Also, please do *not* try to use an external program
 to resize my "reminder".  I am not responsible for any crashes due
 to resizing, moving the window to another screen (it likes to stay
 on the WorkBench screen), or closing the window.  I
 don't think that my registration fee is outrageous.  If you think
 otherwise, please contact me.

 You may, however, modify the ARexx scripts to your heart's
 content.  You may *not* use these ARexx scripts or any of their
 derivatives for anything but AVM.  Any ARexx scripts created by
 users (whether hand coded or generated by the AVM Programmer)
 can be put in the public domain.  In fact, I urge you to distribute
 them, or at least tell me about them so I may incorporate them (or
 some of their features) into the new releases of AVM.

 You may not use *any* of the binaries (the server, programmer,
 iff2adpcm, adpcm2iff, etc.) for anything but AVM.

 Here is a list of the programs that have been disabled without
 the required keyfiles:

 o  AVM Server:  Unregistered version will have an annoying
                 window that cannot be closed.
 o  AVM UI:  Unregistered version will not send things out
             at the specified time.  You can, however,
             send faxes and voice messages by manually
             clicking on the Send Now button or the
             Send No Dial button.
 o  AVM Programmer:  You cannot save or compile changes.
 o  AVM FaxView:  You cannot use 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 reduction.
 o  AVM FaxPrint:  You will only get the first half of each
                   page printed.

2. REGISTRATION

 Although the UNREGISTERED version is very usable as is, you are
 encouraged to register the software.  Registering will ensure
 the continued development and improvement of this software.

 At this time, there are three levels (with some sub-levels)
 that you can choose from.

 Aside from getting the keyfiles to the programs you registered
 for, you will also get invaluable technical support.  Although I
 will try to help new users in getting the UNREGISTERED version
 to work on their system (what good is a demo if you can't get
 it working, right?), I cannot provide much more than that.  I
 need to concentrate on supporting those who were kind enough
 to register.  Of course, you can offer suggestions on how to
 improve the software (and these suggestions may even show up
 on later working demos of the AVM Suite).  If I add those things
 that you want, maybe you will consider registering then.

 Registration is transferrable.  You have to inform me of the
 specifics of the transfer (i.e. to whom it was transferred to).

 Registration entitles you to use the AVM Suite on only one computer.
 Of course, you can use as many modems on that computer as you
 can possibly fit.  You may need a high-performance computer to
 be able to do this, though.  With the best compression, the
 modem to computer transfer rate is at least 9600, making it
 quite unlikely that a 68000 computer will be able to handle
 more than one modem at a time.

 When sending in payment, please include a short note to tell me
 enhancements you want me to include for future releases.  Remember
 that this program will evolve.  This is your chance to contribute
 to its evolution.  If you have suggestions for the program (and you
 don't want to register), send in your comments anyway.  Let me
 know why you don't want to register (costs too much, it's missing
 a feature, the documentation isn't clear, etc.).

 The file called Registration Form can be printed and sent together
 with your payment.

2.1. REGISTERED version Level f

 This level is good for those people with only a fax modem.
 This level includes:

 o  an annoying-less version of the AVM Server (Note that
    although the annoying window is disabled, you will not
    be able use the voice features if you do switch to a
    voice-capable modem.  You will have to upgrade to Level
    1f if you get a voice-capable modem!)
 o  a fully functioning AVM UI for sending unattended faxes
 o  a fax print program which prints faxes in the correct
      aspect ratio
 o  a fax view program which can view long faxes and can
      also view them under different magnifications

 Note!  I'm not charging any money for the use of EFax.  I am
 only charging for the use of the FaxPrinter, the FaxViewer, and
 some technical support on EFax itself.  EFax is Ed Casas' fax
 program and is a GNU Copylefted program.

2.2. REGISTERED version Level 1 and 1f

 With this level, you will get:

 o  an annoying-less version of the AVM Server,
 o  a working AVM UI for sending unattended outgoing
      messages and faxes
    - the Scheduler portion of AVM UI can call you up at work
      when somebody "deposits" a message in your mailbox
    - the Scheduler portion of AVM UI can forward faxes to
      another fax number automatically
    - the Scheduler portion of AVMUI allows you to "reply" to
      messages left by callers
    - the Scheduler portion of AVMUI allows you to "send"
      voice or fax messages to people at pre-specified times

 Level 1f will additionally get you:

 o  a fax print program which prints faxes in the correct
      aspect ratio
 o  a fax view program which can view long faxes and can
      also view them under different magnifications

2.3. REGISTERED version Level 2 and 2f

 In addition to what you get from level 1, you will get:

 o  a working AVM Programmer which makes adding mailboxes and
      customizing the ARexx scripts *much* easier
    - Use it to add mailboxes, delete mailboxes
    - Program unique voice menus
    - Allow people to hear about products you are selling
    - Allow people to get faxes from you about products you
      are selling
    - Allow people to hear music you have composed
    - With the X10 interface, you can turn your appliances
      on and off from the outside
    - Program automated surveys or questionnaires (it can call
      people up and collect responses from them).
    - Program 1-900 (pay per minute) quizzes
    - Anything you can do with ARexx, you can do from within
      the AVM Programmer, and hence from a remote telephone
    - Create a voice BBS

 Level 2f will additionally get you:

 o  a fax print program which prints faxes in the correct
      aspect ratio
 o  a fax view program which can view long faxes and can
      also view them under different magnifications

3. Payment Options

 If you feel that you want to contribute more than I'm asking,
 feel free to do so.  Send the extra stuff (money, gifts, etc.)
 directly to me.  I really feel that the money I'm asking
 for is quite reasonable and you do get a lot for what you pay.
 So, don't hesitate to contribute more, even if you decide to
 do so at a later time than your registration.

 For European customers, send payment to the `European Registration'
 site.

 For all other customers, send payment to the `Author'.

 Here is the price list if you send payment to the `Author' or
 to the `European Registration' site.

 +---------------------------------------+

 +---------------------------------------+

 Note that I may not have it for your specific modem or
 for your specific language -- at this time, I can only guarantee
 that I have voice files for ZyXELs and LineLinks in the English
 language.

 US customers can send me a personal check.

 Some people have been able to send me cash (foreign currency is
 acceptable but please be fair when calculating the exchange rate)
 by wrapping it in aluminum foil.  I am not sure if this is legal,
 and I cannot guarantee that I will receive it.  Of course, you
 could send it to me "registered" so that I will have to sign for
 it and you will receive notification that I signed for it.

 Someone has been able to send via a postal money order from Italy.
 So, I know this is also another alternative.  I am not sure how much
 this will cost you though.  When doing this, please make sure
 that the full address is shown on the money order.  Otherwise,
 I will have no way of knowing how to get in touch with you.

5. European Registration

 If you live in Europe, you can send your registration forms and payment
 to:

    Odendahl Stefan
    Wickertweg 16
    3902 Brig-Glis
    Switzerland

 He will handle any registrations you send to him.  Of course, I
 will still accept your registration here, but it is probably easier
 to send it to him if you live in Europe.

 He says he prefers Swiss Francs (CHF), but other currencies are
 welcome.  Again, be fair when making the conversion.

 If you wish to send Swiss Francs (by any of the methods described
 below), please account for the conversion from the US$ registration
 fee to what you send to him in Swiss Francs.  Stefan has to buy
 a US$ Money Order using your Swiss Francs before he can transmit
 the money to me.

 If you decide to send money in any currency other than Swiss Francs,
 Stefan has to first convert it into Swiss Francs *before* buying a
 US$ Money Order.  So, please allow for this double conversion.

 In other words, he *really* prefers Swiss Francs.

 If you have US$ already, it's probably better to send it directly to
 me.

 Please decide how to transfer the money:

 o Cash (no coins)

 o International postal money transfer to his "post account"

     No.          : 19-10974-2
     Check-Office : Sitten
     Country      : Switzerland

 o Postal money order

 Checks are not accepted at this time because Stefan has determined
 them to be too expensive to cash at his bank.  Plus, the price
 of cashing varies, so it's hard to pass the cost on to the
 registering party.

 You can reach him at:

   [e-mail] (Internet email)
