And here’s yet another Hotline Server for “Classic” Macs… macos.retro-os.live

The following from Reddit… r/VintageApple:

“Reminder for the month of November for the Classic Mac's FirstClass server. We now have more than 100 members in our community! We have a permanent FirstClass server with over 430gb and 13,539 files to download for classic Macs. What is FirstClass? It's a GUI BBS for classic Macs from the 80's & 90's. Not a lot of them around anymore but this is the best way to get apps for classic Macs that can not access websites easily. Just download this one app and you get access to all the files in the repo using a GUI...

Join to get great files and make new friends. To get detailed instructions on how to access the server go to http://macos.retro-os.live/index.php/firstclass/first-class-server-access and follow the steps...
If you need help getting your Mac online, I provide a CD with all the tools and utilities you may need for $3. For more info just go here: http://macos.retro-os.live/FC_CD - note you can download the .toast file for free there.
 
If you want to contribute, the Classic Mac website is at http://macos.retro-os.live where you can give feedback on the service. We also have a discord for Classic Macs at https://discord.gg/VGefxXp2ds.
 
PS: Here is the list of files available (so you can search to see if we have what you are looking for) sorted by date added: http://macos.retro-os.live/jdownloads/LatestFilesUnix.txt - that file is always up to date..

PS2: We now also have a Hotline server! Just go to macos.retro-os.live or look for the server name "Classic Macs Hotline Server". All the files there are the same as the FirstClass, Website & FTP servers.”

Indeed, and if you add these trackers to your Hotline client, there's even more servers to find and download files from.

Happy Hotline browsing!

It's good to see Hotline making a (small) come-back in recent years. It was an integral part of my OS 9 / early web experience and I still think it's an awesome and often misunderstood protocol, capable of so much, praised so little.
