====== AfterNET Mumble Server ======

Ever wonder what your IRC friends sound like in real life? Would you like to voice-chat with friends while you game? 
{{ :mumble-screenshot.png?nolink&300|}}
We have set up a [[http://mumble.sourceforge.net/|Mumble]] server open for AfterNETers to voice-chat with eachother, or in groups. Conversations are grouped into channels similar to IRC. Come try it out:

  * Get a Microphone: Many laptops have them built in. Or use a headset.
  * Download a Mumble client: [[http://mumble.sourceforge.net/#Get_Mumble|Get Mumble]]
  * Configure your sound card: The first time Mumble runs a wizard will help you. Please configure it to use 'push to talk' rather than voice activation. We find voice activation to cause annoying open-mic events. 
  * Configure a push-to-talk shortcut. I like **Right-Shift**. Under settings->Shortcuts, click Add: Function=push to talk, shortcut=Shift_R
  * Connect to **afternet.org** : Open Server->Connect. Click "Add New..." and enter us: Label is AfterNET, Address is **afternet.org**, port is **64738**. For username, set your afternet authserv account. (Not currently required but may be tied in later). Then click Connect!
  * Drag your username to the #AfterNET channel to say hi
