- am is an Answering machine/Fax/Datacall handler for ZyXEL U-modems
- and computers running the NeXTSTEP operating system.
- am was originally written by Patrick Stein <jolly@cis.uni-muenchen.de>.
-
- This is am.1.16 which adds ADPCM_3 support (much better sound quality)
- and some bug fixes.

- What's new?
- -----------
- The new version of zyxel2snd will convert ADPCM2 and ADPCM3 coded zyxel
- sound files to 9600 samples/second linear 16-bit .snd files. Still,
- zyxel2snd reads from stdin and writes to stdout.
-
- You can improve the sound quality, get rid of the clicks and save
- diskspace by doing a sndconvert -s 8012 -f 1 -o <newfile> <soundfile>
- on the converted sound. am will automatically do this conversion and
- put the new soundfile in lib_am/New_Ones_Snd if present.
-
- snd3zyxel generates a .zyxel File from a .snd file in ADPCM3 coding.
- Usage is same as snd2zyxel.
-
- The bug in am which caused the recorded soundfiles to contain errors was
- fixed by changing rec_message. If it happens that a recorded .zyxel file is
- _not_ playable as a welcome message, re-record it with the new am.
-
- How to?
- -------
-
- compile and install as usual (see README.ps)
- Be sure to have defined SPEECH to ADPCM_3.

- I'm still working on improvements to am. Send me your wishlist.

-
- Enjoy.
