'''From WikiPedia:'''

'''Hotline Communications Limited''' (HCL) was a [[software company]] founded in 1997, based in [[Toronto]], Canada, with employees also in the United States and Australia. Hotline Communications' main activity was the publishing and distribution of a multi-purpose client/server [[communication software]] product named ''Hotline Connect'', informally called, simply, ''Hotline''. Initially, Hotline Communications sought a wide audience for its products, and organizations as diverse as [[Avid Technology]], [[Apple Inc.|Apple Computer Australia]], and public high schools used Hotline. At its peak, Hotline received millions of dollars in [[venture capital]] funding, grew to employ more than fifty people, served millions of users, and won accolades at trade shows and in newspapers and computer magazines around the world.{{Citation needed|date=April 2009}}

Hotline eventually attracted more of an "underground" community, which saw it as an easier to use successor to the [[Internet Relay Chat]] (IRC) community. In 2001 Hotline Communications lost the bulk of its VC funding, and went out of business later that year. All of its assets were acquired in 2002 by ''Hotsprings, Inc.'', a new company formed by some ex-employees and [[shareholders]]. Hotsprings Inc. has since also abandoned development of the Hotline Connect software suite; the last iteration of ''Hotline Connect'' was released in December 2003.

Since 2008 some Hotliners have been slowly purchasing the defunct URLs so that they now have the main server, tracker, and [http://www.bigredh.com BigRedH.com]. This has allowed a revival of sorts while many open source clients have popped up over the last few years. Many active projects now have led to a revival of sorts seeing over 30 servers on the main tracker (HLTracker.com).

All new clients and old have been preserved on the new wiki site (moved from advertisement based wiki hosting to [http://www.hlwiki.com/ hlwiki.com]. The community has since flourished and new servers pop up every day with new clients allowing modern computer support while still having older clients for 20+ year old computer support.

==History==
Hotline was designed in 1996 and known as "hotwire" by Australian programmer [[Adam Hinkley]] (known online by his username, "Hinks"), then 17 years old, as a [[classic Mac OS]] application. The [[source code]] for the Hotline applications was based on a class library, "AppWarrior" (AW), which Hinkley wrote. AppWarrior would later become litigious, as Hinkley wrote parts of it while he was employed by an Australian company, Redrock Holdings. Six other fans of Hotline, David Murphy, Alex King, Phil Hilton, Jason Roks, David Bordin, and Terrance Gregory, joined Adam Hinkley's efforts to promote and market the Hotline programs, working day and night and using the company's own products to stay in touch from across the US, Canada, and Australia. Eventually, Canadian Jason Roks approached Adam Hinkley and encouraged him to move to Toronto, where Hotline Communications, Ltd. was incorporated. In 1997, ''Hotline'' won a "Best of the Show" award from one of the award ceremonies concurrent with the Boston [[MacWorld Expo]]. It received accolades in computer magazines and the mainstream press from ''Macworld Sweden'' (which awarded it a "Golden Mouse Award") to the ''Los Angeles Times'', which called it one of the "best kept secrets on the internet", as well as a short article in [[Wired (magazine)|Wired Magazine]]'s September 1997 issue. At the time, the company's main objective was to release a stable [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-compatible version to reach a wider audience.

However, a few months after Hinkley moved to Canada, he and his colleagues at Hotline Communications got into a major disagreement and Hinkley left the firm, encrypting source files for ''Hotline'' on Hotline Communication's computers, thus crippling the company. Lawsuits against Hinkley were filed by both Hotline Communications and Redrock, and Hinkley lost copyright of his "AppWarrior" library as well as rights over the "Hotline" software. The legal battle and Hinkley's case drew some media attention, especially on the Internet.

In the late 1990s, when Hotline's popularity was at its peak, thousands of Hotline servers were available, catering to a wide variety of user interests, including pornography, MP3s, and pirated software; it was these underground purposes that drew the majority of media attention. To access these files most Hotline servers required a login and password. The password was often obtainable by visiting a website provided by the server admin and clicking on a banner advertisement. Server admins would earn money per click and in return offer pirated software, music, movies and pornography to users.

At the end of the 1990s, by then outdated Hotline software started to gradually fade, as [[peer-to-peer]] systems like [[Gnutella]] and [[Kazaa]] became increasingly popular. Many early Hotline users felt sympathy for Hinkley and viewed Hotline Communications with a bad eye and the Hotline Connect suite did not sell well. In September 2001, Hotline Communications announced development of version 2.0 of the Hotline suite had been stopped, beta versions of which had not been well received by the community, and laid off most of its employees. In mid-October of the same year, the company announced the re-hire of their engineering team "in anticipation of the release of Hotline 2.0" on their website (offline as of May 2006). However, no stable build of Hotline 2.0 was ever released.

As of June 2024, hltracker.com and tracked.stickytack.com continue to provide tracker services for Hotline clients.

==Hotline Connect software suite==
Many ''Hotline Server'' users did not have a fixed IP address; Hotline clients users can browse server lists by accessing "trackers", machines with fixed IPs that keep track of the IPs of online servers.

The Hotline applications were distributed as [[shareware]] and combined [[online chat|chat]], [[message board]] and file transfer capabilities and operated using a client/server (not peer-to-peer) model. Hotline predates the [[Napster]] and [[Gnutella]] file sharing products. The Hotline protocol was a [[binary protocol]] which accounted for its high speed efficient transfers in the days when most internet users still used [[modem]]s and [[dialup]]. The protocol was [[reverse engineered]] by the [[internet community]], leading to a wide variety of third-party clients being written in [[RealBasic]], one of the few easy-to-use development environments available on the Macintosh at the time.

''Hotline Connect'' consisted of three applications, distributed separately (via Internet download or on promotional CDs):
* '''Hotline Client''': an application used to access ''Hotline'' [[server (computing)|servers]] set up by users running the ''Hotline Server'' software. Hotline Connect users with a client installed could connect to servers they knew using the [[server (computing)|host]]'s IP address.
* '''Hotline Server''': an easy-to-configure server application.
* '''Hotline Tracker''': a name server, used to keep track of the IP addresses of several ''Hotline'' servers.

==Hotline successors==
A company named Haxial Software (rumored to be Adam Hinkley){{citation needed|date=July 2018}} released a Hotline-like product named KDX.

Jörn and Mirko Hartmann released similar software deliberately kept Mac-only called [[Carracho]] in 1998 Carracho GbR - Welcome, still used today by a small, tight-knit group of users. There have also been several third-party applications that implement the Hotline protocol.

There have been several open-source versions of the Hotline Client and Server suite, which were not based on the official source code, and provide several protocol enhancements (also known as HOPE - HOtline Protocol Extension).
Some versions also support an [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] bridge or KDX bridge. Most of the work on the Hotline enhancements have been done by r0r (HOPE, KDX), kang (IRC) and Devin Teske. See [[Darknet]] for details.

Hotline's largest community Mixed Blood, started by Prime Chuck and SAINT in 1998, is still active to this day on Wired. Wired is similar to Hotline and developed by [[Zanka software]].

Another very large hotline server of the same time, Not All Mine, or notallmine.net, converted to HTML format and went private around 2006.
