Hi!

Hotline is one of those wonderful pieces of technology that I have very close to my heart.
A few months ago I started digging into some source code of an old and forgotten Hotline client made named HotStuff! and tried to get it up and running, mostly for the sake of having something else on 68k than the official Hotline 1.2.3 client. Said and done, after what feels like a gazillion hours trying to solve the big bugs it's time for a release.

It's the only Hotline client I know of for 68k with support for Hotline 1.8.x features and one of only two (the other being Pitbull Pro) for Classic Mac OS capable of connecting to multiple servers at once.

Check it out at http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/hotstuff and join us at hotline.system7today.com for some good old Hotline action :)
Both FAT and Carbon builds are avaliable. Tested on System 7.1 on 68k, Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.4.11, but should work on anything from System 7.1 up until Snow Leopard (under Rosetta).

So, bumping this thread a bit. I'm quite a few releases in I've finally reached feature parity between the three targets (68k, PowerPC PEF and Carbon). It's rock solid on all three targets.

Do give it a go. It's a good client :)
Sweet! It's been a while since I got on a Hotline server - will check it out.
