Description A KDE program for users of AVMs Fritz!Box to get call signaling and other functions.

This program has the following features:

* Call notification

  KFritz connects to the Fritz!Box to inform you about incoming calls. 
  Detailed configuration is possible either in the KFritz user interface 
  or KDE's system settings.

  To enable this feature you have to dial "#96*5*" with a telephone 
  connected to the Fritz!Box. This works for all firmware versions 
  >= xx.03.99

  You may experience problems when trying to dial "#96*5*" with an ISDN 
  telephone. In such a case try to activate "auto keypad", "dial * and #" 
  or some similar setting in your ISDN telephone. If your ISDN telephone 
  contains no keypad support simply use an analogue telephone instead.

  If you do not want to be notified by every call, you can specify a list 
  of MSNs you are interested on in the plugin\'s setup. Max. 22 monitored 
  MSNs are supported.

* Phone book support

  KFritz supports multiple phonebooks. You can configure which phonebooks 
  are used. The order matters with respect to number lookup. When a call 
  comes in, the plugin tries to resolve the number using the first 
  configured phonebook. If that fails, it tries the second one, and so on.

      o Fritz!Box phone book

        This accesses the Fritz!Box phonebook stored on the box itself.

      o das-oertliche.de/nummerzoeker.com phone books

        This tries to resolve any number via online directories.

      o Local Phonebook

        This is a local CSV file. It must be called "localphonebook.csv" and 
        has to be placed in $KDEHOME/share/apps/kfritz/. Each line contains 
        one entry in the following format: "«name»,«type»,«number»". «type» 
        has to be replaced with a type code (1=home, 2=mobile, 3=work).


* Fritz!Box call list

  Shows the call history. Missed calls are indicated in KDE's system bar.
