I am pleased to announce the initial release of Net::Hotline.

The package is available for download either from my web site at

       http://siracusa.home.mindspring.com/perl/

or from any CPAN mirror server:

       http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/id/J/JS/JSIRACUSA/


What does it do:
----------------

The Net::Hotline modules implement a Hotline interface in Perl.  Currently,
this includes only Hotline::Client.  Hotline is an internet client/server
system that's a sort of cross between IRC and a BBS.  See
http://www.hotlinesw.com/ for more information.

Author's note:
--------------

This is my first whack at a "real" Perl module.  Suggestions, advice,
and corrections are welcome.
