on line
Accessible via internet
On line, written as two words, means waiting in a queue—a usage largely confined to New York City and surrounding areas: We stood on line for tickets.
Most American English uses in line for the same meaning.
The two-word spelling also appears in technical contexts meaning connected or operational: The power plant came on line in 1985. (For internet-related senses, see online.)
