Hotline clients allow for a connection between the user and the server. They essentially provide the user with an experience, allowing them to view files and folders on the server, read the news BBS, chat and communicate with the community.

Because Hotline was originally intended as a chatting P2P client, most people focused on one or the other. Hotline is a good place to find files, however it also houses a fairly large chat community, and allows you to communicate with other users. Since Hotline came prior to Facebook, BitTorrent, and Gnutella, it truely was remarkable for its time. It still exists, and you can feel free to download one of the clients below and see for yourself.
