NAME

       qtel - a "QT EchoLink" client

DESCRIPTION

       Qtel  stands  for the "QT EchoLink" client. It is only a EchoLink client application.  There is no "sysop
       mode". If it is a link you want to run, have a look at the SvxLink server application. Qtel  is  quite  a
       simple application, so most things should be self explainatory. There are three windows: the main window,
       the communications dialog and the settings dialog.

       The Qtel Main Window

       The main window consists of four areas. The top-left is where to choose which class of  staions  to  view
       (Conferences,  Links, Repeaters and private Stations). All stations in a class is shown to the top-right.
       At left-bottom is a message area that shows the messages from the EchoLink directory  server.  At  right-
       bottom  is  a  list  of incoming connections. To accept an incoming connection, highlight the station and
       press "Accept".

       The Qtel Communications Dialog

       The communications dialog is used to perform a Qso to anoher station. To activate it, double-click  on  a
       station  line  or  just  press the enter key when the station is highlighted.  To connect to the station,
       press the Connect button. To transmit, press the PTT  button.   To  disconnect,  press  the  "Disconnect"
       button.  In  the  big,  white area in the middle of the window, info messages from the remote station are
       shown. Chat messages from the remote station is also shown here. In the oneline white  area  below,  chat
       messages can be typed that is sent to the remote station.

       The Qtel Settings Dialog

       The  configuration  dialog is brought up the first time the application is started.  Most fields are self
       explainatory. Location is the short string that is shown in the EchoLink directory  server  listing.  The
       info  message  is the one that is sent to the remote station upon connection. In the Directory Server tab
       are some settings for the EchoLink directory server connection.

OPTIONS

       There are no options. Start the program within a console - qtel & - or from the menu.

ENVIRONMENT

       ASYNC_AUDIO_NOTRIGGER
              Set this environment variable to 1 if you get an error about ioctl: Broken pipe during qtel
              startup when using OSS audio.

       ASYNC_AUDIO_ALSA_ZEROFILL
              Set this environment variable to 1 to make the Alsa audio code write zeros to the audio device
              when there is no audio to write available. This may be needed for some audio devices that take a
              long time to recover from an underflow condition.
