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.

BUGS
Caller ID stores hangup reason localized. This will break, if someone
uses letters outside of English alphabet for translation of hangup
reasons.
