    NAME
      Aaxp,	Amaxine, Asparc	- a network-transparent	audio server for Alpha AXP
      workstations,	Personal DECstations, and SparcStations.

    SYNOPSIS

      The AF audio server is a network transparent	system developed at Digital
      CRL.	The audio servers described in this manual page	support	the native
      8KHz CODECs on some DEC workstations and the SparcStation.

    DESCRIPTION

      Aaxp is an AF	server with native CODEC audio device dependent	support	for
      DEC3000 workstations.

      Amaxine is an	AF server with native CODEC audio device dependent support
      for DECstation 5000 model 25 workstations.

      Asparc is an AF server with native CODEC audio device	dependent support for
      SparcStations.

    STARTING UP

    OPTIONS

      -help

           Use the help switch to determine	device independent arguments.

    AUDIO DEVICES

      These	audio servers present a	single 8KHz input/output audio device to
      client applications.	The audio device number	is 0.

    CONNECTION NAME

      From the user's prospective, every AF	server has an audio connection of the
      form:

    			      hostname:portOffset

      This information is used by the application to determine how it should con-
      nect to the server.

      hostname
    	  The hostname specifies the name of the machine to which the audio
    	  device is physically connected.

      portOffset
    	  The portOffset is used to identify the audio server's	port on	host-
    	  name.	 For example, to simultaneously	run two	audio servers on a
    	  given	host, you might	select 0 or 1 for portOffset.

      If the connection name to an audio server is not specified, then the
      environment variables	AUDIOFILE or DISPLAY will be used.

    ACCESS CONTROL
      The sample server provides two types of access control:  an authorization
      protocol which provides a list of ``magic cookies'' clients can send to
      request access, and a	list of	hosts from which connections are always
      accepted.

    BUGS
      If you encounter a repeatable	bug, please submit a problem report to () and
      include the source code if possible.
