Hotline is now a truer, richer communication and collaboration environment. Use Hotline 1.8.4 to create your online identity and explore the world of Hotline communities. This version will not expire.
Our Review: The Hotline Connect Client allows you to communicate with Hotline Servers around the world. These servers give you access to stored files, discussion forums, and private/public chats. The interface of Hotline Connect is graphically based - making it easy to use and customise. Hotline servers have the option of giving some users privileged access to aid in moderating the server - so be sure to nag the admin for increased access! Hotline Connect Client is a powerful communication utility that will fiercely compete with the likes of ICQ and other similar clients. (Hotline Server also available on Yippee).
