## xcept-2.1.2p6 – decoder for the CEPT (Btx) protocol

## Description

    XCept provides a decoder for the CEPT protocol as it is in use for
    example by the Btx service of the Deutsche Telekom.  In particular,
    electronic banking and other commercial services are being handled
    this way.  The CEPT protocol itself is supposed to be a European Telco
    protocol, though I don't know whether any other Telco is actually
    using it.

    The program consists of two parts, ceptd acting as a server on the
    host with the modem to use, and xcept as the client which interacts
    with the user, using an X11 frontend if desired.  Xcept also provides
    basic scripting facilities.

    The package has been developed by Arno Augustin and Frank Hoering at
    the University of Nuernberg-Erlangen, Germany.  XCept version 2 has
    been the last version distributed under a BSD-style copyright; the
    package went commercial in later versions.  The authors no longer
    distribute or support version 2.
