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.

NAME

       faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone.  This is useful, for exam-
       ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone.

       The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the  full  name
       of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

OPTIONS

       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -h        Specify  exactly  how  the phone should be answered.  By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept
                 any kind of call (voice, data, fax).  Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support.   The
                 -h  option  can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern
                 (to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a  dialstring  to  dial  before
                 initiating a fax reception).  If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;'').

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
