Uploader:     d1mag dtek chalmers se
Type:         comm/misc
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


System  Requirements:

    Computer: Amiga 500/600/1000/1200/2000/3000/4000
              AmigaDOS 2.0 and over. (AmigaDOS 2.1 for localization.)
              Harddisk is recommended.
    Modem:    ZyXEL 1496, 1496E(+), 1496R, 1496S(+)
              ZyXEL ROM 5.04a++
              Upgrade your ROM to 6.10a for better DTMF-detection
              and if you want to use ADPCM2/3 with syncpulses.
              VoiXEL isn't tested with ROM 6.11a yet, but it should work.

    Software:
      asl.library
      OwnDevUnit.device    (Recommended, but not required)


    VoiXEL is mainly tested on:
      A4000/040 / 8Mb RAM / 235Mb HD
      Kickstart 3.0
      ZyXEL 1496 E/E+ ROM6.10a
    but also
      A2000/000  512Kb Chip / 2 Mb Fast / 100Mb HD
      Kickstart 2.04
      ZyXEL 1496 E/E+ ROM6.10a



Summary of Features:

    * GUI-interface

    * Possibility to iconify VoiXEL and run it as a background task.

    * OwnDevUnit.device support. VoiXEL releases the serial port if
      any other task wants to use it.

    * Localized in different languages. (English, German, Swedish)

    * VoiXEL allows you to use the ZyXEL-modem as an answermachine. The
      answermachine is fully remotecontrolled so you can listen at all
      incoming voice calls from another telephone.

    * VoiXEL starts a FAX-program if a FAX call was detected.

    * VoiXEL starts a BBS-program or something else if the caller wants to
      Up-/Download files with another modem.

    * You can set a phonenumber where you actually are for the moment. If
      VoiXEL receives a message it will automatically call this number and
      deliver the message.

    * A password is required to enter the remote functions.

    * User-defined DTMF-keys in remote mode.

    * Convert ADPCM files to IFF files.

    * Convert IFF files (any sample frequence) to ADPCM2 or ADPCM3.

    * Manual record from Phoneline or External microphone.

    * Manual play to Amigaspeaker, Phoneline or Internal speaker.
      If you play a ZyXEL file to Amigaspeaker, you don't have to convert it
      to an IFF file. This is a nice feature when playing a 1Mb ZyXEL file...

    * All compression methods are used. (CELP, ADPCM2, ADPCM3, ADPCM2 with
      SYNC, ADPCM3 with SYNC)

    * Possibility to answer the first incoming call after 4 RING-signals, next
      call after 2 signals. Otherwise you could set it from 1 to 20 signals.

    * All incoming calls are displayed in a Loglist.
      Some information about the calls are displayed here, such as Date,
      calltype, length and callernumber (if Fax-type).
      You can very easy double-click to listen at a voicecall or viewing
      an incoming fax.

    * The demoversion doesn't include all functions such as:
        The loglist is limited to 2 incoming calls. If the loglist is full
        VoiXEL will play the outgoing message and then hangup.

    * The registrated version includes all implemented functions and:
        The Loglist is limited to maximum 200 incoming calls.
