VertiClient is our client for Macintosh. Besides being backwards compatible with all Hotline servers, VertiClient also supports our new additions to the protocol: peer to peer file transfers, and GIF icons. VertiClient was built from the ground up using Cocoa, resulting in an ultra-responsive user experience with a sleek interface.

PovertiClient is the best Hotline client for Windows, ever. But Jonathan Voss wasn't about to let a lack of decent competition prevent him from innovation. It comes loaded with the expected features: backwards compatibility, a sensible interface, and hotline.dat icon set support. However, it also supports our suite of luxurious protocol extensions. PovertiClient was written in C++ for Windows 2000/XP.

Java VertiClient, or JVC for short, is our client for Java. This is a nice cross-platform graphical Hotline client that, as with all our clients, is compatible with all Hotline servers as well as our own extensions. JVC is ideal for users of alternative operating systems, or MacOSX users who prefer PovertiClient's tabbed, single-window interface.
