This is a public 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.     

New in version 1.6:

     - Added a TCP batch transmission mode.  In this mode, AmiPhone
       sends the audio stream over the TCP connecton, and does not
       play the sound until you have finished speaking.  This allows
       for continuous, glitch-free speech even over slow connections.

     - AmiPhone can now play and transmit IFF-8SVX files as well as
       AmiPhone voice mail files.

     - A few other minor bug fixes and improvements.
