             ISDN CAPI 1.1 based Answering Machine for OS/2
                          Version 0.60 BETA


               THIS VERSION WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE 1st, 1996


  Introduction:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
   We have developed CapiTel because OS/2 needed  a  CAPI  1.1  based
   answering machine. It worked  very  well  for  our  personal  use,
   therefore the time has come to release it to  the  public.  Please
   do  not forget that this is an beta version and that it  has  only
   been tested with the ELSA OS/2 CAPI driver. If you  have problems,
   contact us and we will fix them!

  Installation:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Unzip  the  distribution  archive  into  the  desired  destination
   directory and run INSTALL.CMD.

  Usage:
  ~~~~~
   You can configure CapiTel by using the GENERAL->SETUP option.

  Record Welcome-Text:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   You  can  record  your  own  welcome-text  instead  of  using  the
   default  one.  Just  start  CapiTel  and  press the record-button.
   Now call  yourself by phone and record your welcome text.  A  BEEP
   will be automatically appended.

  Special Features:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   In  CapiTel.Nam  you  can  specify  a realname for each number, in
   CapiTel.Eaz  a  description for each  EAZ  and  in  CapiTel.Cal an
   alternative  PCM-File  (you can record with the record option) for
   each incoming number. Please refer to these files for examples.

  Registration:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~
   This  beta  version  is   free.  The  final  release  will  become
   Shareware, we haven't decided about the price yet.

  Hints:
  ~~~~~
   On Capi 1.1 it is not possible  to start 2 or  more  applications,
   that  want  to listen to the same EAZ (and same ServiceIndicator).
   So it is not possible to run CapiTel and (e.g.) CallerID or  Capi-
   Snooper at the  same time. If CallerID  or  Snooper  starts  after
   Capitel,  this is a flag for bad programming of these applications
   or CAPI-driver.

   The  PCM-files  are plain a-law-data. In one of the following ver-
   sions you can send welcome.wav  instead of welcome.pcm. so you can
   create your own  welcome-text  with your soundcard without calling
   yourself.


  Upcoming Features:
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   - DTMF-decoding for remote controlling.
   - Extended PM-setup for CapiTel.EAZ, CapiTel.CAL and CapiTel.NAM.
   - Direct WAV-support for answering texts.
