NAME

       ant-phone - an interactive ISDN telephone application

SYNOPSIS

       ant-phone [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ant-phone  is  part of ANT (ANT is Not a Telephone). It let's you make and receive telephone calls and talk via sound devices. It uses CAPI
       2.0 as ISDN interface.

OPTIONS

       ant-phone accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options

       -v, --version
	      Print version information

       -r, --cleanup
	      Remove stale socket file left by accident by a previous run of ANT. You only need this option if	ANT  says:  "local  bind:  Address
	      already in use"

       -d, --debug[=debuglevel]
	      Print additional runtime debugging data to stdout, debuglevel = 1..4

       -i, --soundin=device
	      ALSA device name for input (recording), default: "default"

       -o, --soundout=device
	      ALSA device name for output (playback), default: "default"

       -m, --msn=msn
	      identifying MSN (for outgoing calls), 0 for master MSN of this termination/port, default: 0

       -l, --msns=msns
	      MSNs to listen on, semicolon-separated list or '*', default: *

       -c, --call=number
	      Make a running instance of ANT make a call to the specified number, useful for calling from an external address book application

       -s, --sleep
	      Shut down CAPI connection to prepare for removal of broken kernel modules, which don't survive suspend/restore.

       -w, --wakeup
	      Restore  CAPI  connection  after ISDN modules loaded again. The connection will be also restored by dialing a number, but before the
	      connection is restored, you won't be able to accept calls.

NOTES

       If the used sound devices (arguments of --soundin and --soundout) are equal, a full duplex sound device is needed.

FILES

       ~/.ant-phone/history
	      the last dialed numbers

       ~/.ant-phone/options
	      user specific options file

       ~/.ant-phone/callerid
	      saved history of incoming and outgoing calls

       ~/.ant-phone/recordings/*
	      recordings of recorded phone calls

BUGS

       Caller ID stores hangup reason localized. This will break, if someone uses letters outside of English alphabet for  translation	of  hangup
       reasons.
