AUPHONE(1)					       AUPHONE(1)

NAME
       auphone - a simple telephone client

SYNOPSIS
       auphone [-a servername] [-v volume] [-l latency] [-r file_
       name]

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 possi
	       bly 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 communi
	       cations delay.  The default value is .25	 seconds.

       -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 vol
       ume of the speaker output and the Input	Gain  slider  and

       Input  Mode toggle control the gain and mode of the micro
       phone or line input.

AUPHONE AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET
       auphone uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena  Wid
       get  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.
