Remember Hotline Client and Hotline Server? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hotline was a Client-Server application that enabled incredibly simple access to your machine over the internet. I had it on my Mac about a decade ago and it was excellent. Now I am reduced to Dropbox, which is a far cry from Hotline.

Does anyone know of a similar app that would run on OS X?

I was all over hotline for several years... Ran a server and admined several over the years.

I could really use something like that now.

We are working on this application now for our Mac hosting being launched next month.

Barefootsies- there was no download link and the author's site is out of date because they dropped support for this years ago. I used to use KDX too. Interestingly there was a SIMILAR APP link, which lead to this: http://www.zankasoftware.com/wired/

I am going to explore it now. Thanks for the tip!

We use to build crazy traffic from hotline surfers back in the day.

Oh man, those were the days. I used to run hotline way back then, and Carracho was awesome!

Almost going to cry thinking about the nostalgia and getting free programs in the morning after running it all night.

No viruses or BS.
