ANT - Ant is Not a Telephone
|

****************************

|
||||
WHAT IT IS
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
ANT is a telephone application written for GNU/Linux, I4L (ISDN4Linux,
|
||||
integrated in the kernel), GTK+ (GIMP Toolkit) and OSS (Open Sound System).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ABOUT ANT
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
It directly interfaces OSS and ISDN devices, so there is no need to install
|
||||
extra software or hardware like PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or telephony
|
||||
cards, if you've got direct access to an audio capable ISDN Card and full
|
||||
duplex (or multiple) soundcard.
|
||||
|
||||
For the soundcard interface you can use headphones (or speakers) and a
|
||||
microphone, or a headset instead of all this.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, there is no direct mixer integration planned for ANT for several
|
||||
reasons. For GNU/Linux, there are quite a lot of good mixer programs available
|
||||
such as aumix, kmix, smix or tkmixer. The other reason is to make the program
|
||||
more general. Not all sound devices have mixer support integrated and many
|
||||
don't provide an obvious interface.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: Currently, this is a work in progress (beta version) and may contain
|
||||
bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
|
||||
==================
|
||||
to run:
|
||||
|
||||
* a computer
|
||||
* an ISDN card with audio support for Linux (ISDN4Linux driver)
|
||||
(teles or HiSax drivers are known to work)
|
||||
* GNU/Linux (as far as nobody has tried it on another platform yet)
|
||||
* OSS support
|
||||
* a full duplex sound card or two sound devices
|
||||
(one for input, another for output)
|
||||
* a microphone (or your sound source of choice)
|
||||
* speakers, or better: headphones
|
||||
* instead of the last two points, you could also use a headset
|
||||
* GTK+ 2.x
|
||||
* libsndfile
|
||||
|
||||
to compile:
|
||||
|
||||
* GNU make
|
||||
* GCC
|
||||
* GTK+ 2.x development files
|
||||
* OSS development files (actually, it's mostly just one header file)
|
||||
* libsndfile development files
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT YOU MIGHT NEED
|
||||
===================
|
||||
* possibly a mixer application of your choice (e.g. aumix or smix) to set up
|
||||
your audio devices (check your recording and playback levels to make sure
|
||||
to hear your calling/called party and to be heard by them
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FEATURES
|
||||
========
|
||||
* Of course, dialing out and receiving calls
|
||||
* Caller id monitor
|
||||
* Vanity number dialing support
|
||||
* Big / little endian support for processor architecture and sound card
|
||||
* Different 8 and 16 bit audio formats supported
|
||||
* Different sampling speeds supported (if sound device(s) don't support
|
||||
native ISDN sampling speed)
|
||||
* Setting outgoing (identifying) MSN (Multiple Subscriber Number) and
|
||||
MSNs to listen on
|
||||
* Line Level Checker
|
||||
* Works with ALSA (OSS emulation)
|
||||
* Saved config file
|
||||
* Saved Caller ID history
|
||||
* Option to run an external command on incoming call (useful for external
|
||||
pager programs), add %s in template for calling party number, %n for
|
||||
own number
|
||||
* Command line option to make a running instance of ANT make a call to a
|
||||
specific number (useful for external address book applications)
|
||||
* Live recording to files
|
||||
* Popup on incoming call
|
||||
* Configurable preset buttons
|
||||
* Isdnlog data import
|
||||
* Tracking of unanswered calls
|
||||
* Internationalization, native language support (NLS) for Dutch, German, French
