I need a terminal program that uses RS232C for a personal project these days.

The nextstep/openstep community recommended a program called TipTop, but I couldn't find it (and the mirror ftp url for blackhole is broken).

Is there any way to obtain I'd also be interested in purchasing a license if possible.

I wonder if minicom has a NeXT binary.

There's also several kermit binaries at https://www.nextcomputers.org/NeXTfiles/Software/NEXTSTEP/Apps/Communication/

I look through my archives as I may have an original ....

, that link is probably from the very old Optimal Object Tehnologies Catalog circa 1994, good times working for them way back then and when it worked, it would download via the Peak site .It was quite innovative to have on demand on the web software downloads when not a whole lot of folks new what the web was :)  Cool stuff!

Gosh, peak.org has been giving us good data for quite some time, but it's no longer operational.

Are there any mirror services of peak.org that you can recommend? I haven't found any on the internet.
