Hotline Client

The Hotline Client is the vehicle which allows users to navigate the wired Hotline world. The Client is a simple and elegant application that enables the user to connect to a server, chat with other users, read and post news, and simultaneously transfer files with speed and ease. All this is presented in a user-friendly and polished interface. The Client incorporates cutting-edge features such as resumable downloads and uploads, private personal messaging, news, and real-time chat. Both the Server and the Client multi-task seamlessly, even while the user is checking e-mail, browsing the web, or running other applications in the background or foreground. The Hotline Server enables the user to easily and safely run their own personal server on almost any Macintosh currently, with a PC version being in the alpha stage of development. The Hotline Server is a powerful yet easy to use tool for anyone who needs a way to stay in contact and share files, information and ideas. To allow others to easily find and connect to their server, the user can register their Server with a Hotline Tracker, which acts like an Internet Phonebook. Once registered, the user's server becomes available for anyone to look-up and connect to.
