NAME

       auphone - a simple telephone client

SYNOPSIS

       auphone [-a servername] [-v volume] [-l latency] [-r filename]

DESCRIPTION

       auphone allows two-way real time voice communication between two audio servers.

OPTIONS

       The following options can be used with auphone:

       -a servername
	       This option specifies the audio server to which auphone should connect.

       -v volume
	       This is the volume, in percent, for the incoming ring sound.  The default is 15 percent.

       -l latency
	       This  is  the  latency, in seconds, of the auphone connection.  A lower value will result in better real-time communications at the
	       expense of possibly overloading the server (causing dropouts) and a greater network duty cycle.	A higher  value  will  lessen  the
	       load  on  the server and decrease the network duty cycle but will increase the communications delay.  The default value is .25 sec-
	       onds.

       -r filename
	       You can personalize your incoming ringing sound using the -r option.  Simply specify the filename of an audio file to use  for  the
	       incoming ring sound.  Note that this sound will be looped.

USAGE

       To  place  a  call, enter the address of the audio server that you wish to connect with in the Who text field.  Then hit RETURN or click on
       the Call button.  If the callee is accepting calls, you should hear a ringing sound.  If  the  callee  answers,	the  username  and  server
       address of the callee will be displayed.  To disconnect, click on the Hangup button.

       To  receive  incoming  calls,  you  must already be running auphone.  To answer an incoming call, click on the Answer button.  You may also
       determine who's calling before you answer by clicking on the Caller ID button.

       Once you're connected, the Volume slider controls the volume of the speaker output and the Input Gain slider and Input Mode toggle  control
       the gain and mode of the microphone or line input.

AUPHONE AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET

       auphone uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena Widget Set.  For more information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation.

ENVIRONMENT

       In addition to the standard toolkit environment variables, the following environment variables are used by auphone:

       AUDIOSERVER
	       This  variable  specifies  the default audio server to contact if -a is not specified on the command line.  If this variable is not
	       set and the -a is not specified on the command line, auphone will attempt to connect to the audio server running on  the  X  Window
	       System display.
