ANT is a phone app designed for GNU/Linux, ISDN4Linux, and OSS systems. It simplifies phone communication by allowing users to easily make and receive telephone calls using their computer.
ANT is a top-of-the-line desktop ISDN telephony software designed for GNU/Linux users. This powerful application supports both OSS (Open Sound System) and I4L (ISDN4Linux) and boasts a user-friendly interface built for GTK+ 2.x (GIMP toolkit).
One of the main perks of using ANT is that it seamlessly interfaces with OSS and ISDN devices, so there's no need to spend extra money on hardware or software such as PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or telephony cards. All you need is direct access to an audio-capable ISDN card like teles or HiSax chipset, for example, AVM.
Some key features of ANT include: dialing out, receiving calls, and talking, of course. Additionally, ANT has a caller ID monitor, vanity number dialing support, big/little-endian support for processor architecture and sound card, support for different 8 and 16-bit audio formats, different sampling speeds support, line level checker, works with ALSA (OSS emulation), saved config files, and caller ID history.
ANT has an option to run an external command on incoming calls, which can be useful for external pagers, and it also has a command-line option to make a running instance of ANT make a call to a specific number, which can be handy for external address book applications. ANT also enables live recording to files, pop-up on incoming calls, configurable preset buttons, isdnlog data import, tracking of unanswered calls, and internationalization support for de, en, fr, nl, ro.
The latest release of ANT has completed the transitions from OSS to ALSA and from ttyI to CAPI. Threads have also been implemented to improve latency and CPU usage, while translation updates are included. There have also been some fine-tunings to the UI details. Overall, ANT remains a must-have software for anyone in need of powerful and versatile telephony support on their GNU/Linux device.
