			AMIPHONE 1.7
                     
                     (Released 5/3/96)
                     
----------------------------------------------------------------

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 1.7:
     - AmiPhone now samples the parallel port at only 300Hz by default,
       and automagically bumps the sampling frequency up when sound is 
       detected.  This saves lots of CPU time when you aren't saying
       anything.
     - AmiPhone now compares version numbers during connections, and
       if the version numbers don't match in the .1's place column,
       displays a warning requester to the party who needs to upgrade.
     - Enhanced the Installer script and EditTextFile.rexx so that if
       the config file editing fails, the user is notified.
     * Wiped out a completely stupid bug that was causing AmiPhone's
       session key transmission scheme to break when the remote host
       was not "localhost".  Connections should be more straightforward
       now, and the "Show Daemon" option and etc. should work.
     * Fixed a bug that caused AmiPhone not to parse CLI arguments if
       it couldn't find an AmiPhone icon.
