Business Only internet

Hotline provides only Corporate Internet Access and has Dial-In Installations established in Sydney and Melbourne. Our network is not encumbered by a myriad of home users and is designed to provide maximum speed and security. All incoming email is filtered for "spam mail" and for virus content, providing an environment of high internet security that is unprecedented in Australia.

Whilst this does not guarantee that you will never again receive "spam mail" or a virus by mail, it makes such incidence highly unlikely. The virus program is updated every day and should catch any "infected" mail instantly. Hotline links a series of sophisticated, digital Routers and coupled these to state of the art Firewalls, thus providing the company's clients with state-of-the-art technology and security available. Since Hotline has these Routers and Firewalls installed in Melbourne and Sydney, clients have the option to run Secure Private Networks with other offices, clients or suppliers intra- and interstate in total security.

This can be achieved by connecting these networks through Hotline’s Network, in total security, since all data traffic is encrypted by hardware from both ends, a process called "tunnelling" and invisible to other Internet users. Access may be sought via permanent or dial-up connection for 56k analogue, ISDN or DSL at most reasonable rates. This is an excellent and cost effective way of networking branches, stores and roaming users, local, interstate or overseas, efficiently and securely. Secure private networks (SPNs) are dramatically changing the nature of networked communications by providing enterprises the opportunity to maximise the potential of the Internet. For small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) this shift from private to public networks represents a tremendous opportunity.

Using Hotline's SPN service, clients are able to avail themselves of full, national networking, with branch offices, factories, clients and suppliers in total security and at only a fraction of the costs of today's WANs. Another hidden, yet significant advantage is that Hotline’s access is limited to "business only" access. We safeguard you from possible legal actions, by making "porn" and "hate" sites inaccessible and furthermore, stop staff having access to chatroom sites and music download sites.

If you require, you may specify who has surfing rights and who has email only. This means not only higher productivity in your offices, but also will make the traffic on your network substantially faster…..and a great deal more secure.
