<p><kin>T42</kin> is our <term>Win32</term> implementation of <product>unix</product> <product>ntalk</product> protocol.</p>
<p>It features:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Multihoming</b> - works properly on multihomed machines (ie. accepts connections/issues requests on all interfaces);</li>
<li><b>Your personal secretary</b> - technically speaking, something like answering machine;</li>
<li><b>Sleep function</b> - be notified of activities in backgrounded windows;</li>
</ul>
<p>Designed to be compatible with our <term>TFTP</term> client/server, <kin href="http://kin.klever.net/pumpkin/">PumpKIN</kin>, that allows you to exchange files with your party while having talk sessions.</p>

<p>Once you've installed <kin>T42</kin>, run it from <i>Programs/Klever Group</i> menu. A small cup icon will appear in the notification tray area.</p>
<p>Left-click on the icon will get you to the <a href="#MainWindow">Main Window</a>, right-click brings up the following menu:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Order some tea</b> - Initiates talk session. This will open new <a href="#ConversationWindow">Conversation Window</a> and prompt you for request details.</li>
<li><b>Away</b> - Toggle your away mode. It affects the way <kin>T42</kin> handles incoming calls. See <a href="#Mainwindow">Main Window</a> for details.</li>
<li><b>Show Main Window</b> - Toggle visibility of the <a href="#MainWindow">Main Window</a> from which you can control some of <kin>T42</kin> options and read/maintain your recorded messages.</li>
<li><b>Options</b> - Select this to bring up <a href="#Options">Options dialog</a> so that you can customize <kin>T42</kin> to suit your needs.</li>
<li><b>Exit</b> - This is not likely to happen, but if you want to exit <kin>T42</kin> and unload it from memory - that's what <b>Exit</b> is for.</li>
</ul>
</topic>
<topic id="MainWindow" title="Main Window">
<heading scroll="no">Main <kin>T42</kin> Window</heading>
<p>Main Window is a <kin>T42</kin> Control Center, it's exactly mouse-click away from most of <kin>T42</kin> functions. It consists of</p>
<ul>
<li><b>On Call</b> and <b>On Call when away</b> dropdown lists let you select the action to take when incoming call occurs in 'normal' and 'away' mode. Chose one of
<ul>
<li><i>Prompt</i> - Ask you what to do before taking any actions;</li>
<li><i>Secretary</i> - Relay incoming calls to your <a href="#SecretaryOptions">personal secretary</a>. Some prefer to call it answering machine.</li>
<li><i>Not here</i> - Tell the caller you're not here (<i>not logged in</i>) and terminate connection.</li>
<li><i>Refuse</i> - Tell the caller you're not accepting messages and terminate connection.</li>
<li><i>Ignore</i> - Pretend that you didn't notice.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Away</b> button toggles your away mode. When an incoming call occurs <kin>T42</kin> takes action based upon away mode and options selected in <b>On Call</b> and <b>On Call when away</b> dropdown lists.</li>
<li><b>Tea</b> button initiates new talk session. This will open new <a href="#ConversationWindow">Conversation Window</a> and prompt you for <a href="#RemoteDialog">request details</a>.</li>
<li><b>Options</b> button brings up <a href="#Options">Configuration Dialog</a> that lets you customize <kin>T42</kin> according to your needs.</li>
<li><b>Exit</b> - button closes <kin>T42</kin> windows and removes <kin>T42</kin> from memory.</li>
<li><b>Help</b> button enters the help system. If you got this far, you probably don't need further explanations.</li>
<li><b>Recorded messages</b> list this is the list of messages recorded by your secretary. Messages are sorted by age, last ones first. Unanswered messages have a brighter cup icon unless you've explicitly marked the message as processed (see below for details). Right-click on the list entry presents you with popup menu from which you can:
<ul>
<li><i>Call back</i> the person who left the message. This is identical to initiating new talk session and entering caller's data manually. Note: if the caller has a dynamic IP address and have already disconnected from his ISP and reconnected back this may not work.</li>
<li><i>Delete</i> selected message(s). If you don't need recorded message anymore you can throw it away by selecting this.</li>
<li><i>Save to file..</i> menu option lets you save message into <term>RTF</term> file. Then you may print message text, import it into your <product>MS Word</product> documents or do with it whatever you want.</li>
<li><i>Mark as new</i> message lets you force message state to 'unprocessed' which means that it will have brighter cup icon in front of it which is supposed to help you keep track of messages that you need to take care of.</li>
<li><i>Mark as processed</i> message is the reverse of <i>Mark as new</i> command.</li>
<li><i>Empty Log</i> simply removes all messages from the log.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Message preview window</b> - the recorded message itself is shown in this window.</li>
</ul>

<topic id="AnnounceDialog" title="Announce Dialog">
<heading scroll="no">Announce Dialog Window</heading>
<p>When incoming call occurs and you're set to get a prompt this dialog pops up. This dialog lets you chose what further actions you want <kin>T42</kin> to take and see the request details. The dialog looks like this:</p>
<p><image source="announce.bmp"/></p>
<p>Incoming call details are in <b>bold</b>. The details are:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>callee name</b> - this is your name, or what caller thinks it is. (<i>kamel</i> in this example)</li>
<li><b>tty</b> - terminal on which remote thinks you're logged on. This is not important for incoming requests. Normally this is only used on unix machines. (<i>tty0</i> in this example)</li>
<li><b>caller's name</b> - local username and hostname/IP address of caller. (<i>hacker@localhost</i> in this example)</li>
</ul>
<p>Use <b>Yes, I'd appreciate some milk</b> button to answer the call and establish talk connection with caller, <b>Not now, have a cup of tea with secretary</b> to relay the call to your secretary and <b>No, thanks, I'm out to coffee house</b> to ignore call.</p>
<p>If you don't answer in 30 seconds the call is relayed to the secretary.</p>
