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. == Downloads == <sub>^^ - Indicates current website no longer allows download, Need new files for download (Email them to bnetcc@gmail.com and I can host for free)</sub> === Official Clients === Hotline Connect Client - v1.9.2 ([https://preterhuman.net/download/Hotline-Client-1.9.2-Carbon.sit Carbon]), v1.2.3 ([http://preterhuman.net/download/Hotline_Client-1.2.3_68k.hqx Classic 68k], [http://preterhuman.net/download/Hotline_Client-1.2.3_PPC.hqx Classic PPC], [http://preterhuman.net/download/Hotline_Client-1.2.3_win.zip Windows]) === Derivatives (Openline) === [https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/gloarbline-197 GLoarbLine 1.9.7 (Mac OS 8.5 - 10.5.8, Windows)] adds extra account permissions and blowfish encryption for servers that support it [http://www.hyperspasm.com/underline/ Underline (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X PPC, Windows)] primarily adds optional blowfish to encrypt connections with servers that support it === Third Party (Hotline) === [https://aniclient.sourceforge.net/ AniClient (Windows)] [https://github.com/jwheare/hotline Erlang Hotline client with web UI] [http://fidelio.sourceforge.net/ Fidelio (Linux)] [https://code.google.com/archive/p/filetalk/source/default/source FileTalk (Ruby)] (Source code is available, but binaries aren't) [https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/frogblast Frogblast (Mac OS X PPC)] [http://gtkhx.sourceforge.net GtkHx (Linux)] [https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/heidrun Heidrun (Mac OS X PPC)] [https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/htlx HTLx (Mac OS 68k / PPC)] [https://github.com/Schala/mhxd mhx (Unix)] archival source mirror Nostalgia (Mac OS X) -- Epo told me to take my old link down, but you can grab this client on MANY Hotline servers including hltracker.com.
