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, Aura PCMCIA sampler, or astandard 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 1.80:
     - Started to add AHI sampling support.  (NOTE:  AHI support isn't
       working yet, so it is not selectable)
     - Added a Record toggle to AmiPhoned's Project Menu.
     - Added transmission-side queueing of TCP data.  This virtually 
       guarantees that in Batch TCP Mode, data will not be dropped 
       due to a slow connection.  (Unless your Amiga runs out of memory)
     - Changed the default "idle" sampling rate from 300 to 200 Hz.
     - EditText.rexx now replaces the original file if the file 
       modification failed.
     * Finally found and killed the bug that was causing the
       AmiPhone sampling routine to interfere with serial port
       operation.  It should now be possible to leave the sampler
       enabled all the time, with no adverse effects.
     * The ASL FileRequester now uses its own IDCMP port, which
       fixes problems some people were having with interference 
       between it and the main process's IDCMP.
     * The session key scheme was only working for the connecting
       party.  Now it should work for the receiving party as well.
     * The Toccata board support is in the process of being improved,
       so it may work better now.  Then again, it may not.
