TipTop for NS/FIP is also available.
Here is the README file:
===================================================================
TipTop is a telecommunication program. TipTop version 0.93 works
on black NeXTSTEP 3.1 and 3.0. If you want to run TipTop under
NS3.0, you need to get `TipTop_0.93_for_3.0.compressed' package.
Intel version is also available! If you want to get a copy of
TipTop for NS/FIP please send me a note.
TipTop is shareware. You are welcome to download it and try it.
If you use it you should register yourself. Educational license
fee is $25. Non-educational license fee is $35. Until you register,
TipTop will quit after 15 minutes of usage. For more info see the
License section in Info->Help.
You may also want to fetch TipTop-goodies.compressed package
which contains executable code for term, term clients, NcFTP,
Expect, and associated documentation.

Features
========
- VT102 terminal emulation.
- Terminal window features scrollback buffer, find panel,
changeable fonts (font panel), copy/paste, etc. I.e.,
everything that you expect from a NeXT app (including
resizable terminal window)!
- A simple PhoneBook.
- Transfer: ZMODEM send and receive, and ASCII capture.
- TipTop uses UUCP locking protocol.
- TipTop can run external programs such as sx/sb/sz/rx/rb/rz,
term, expect, etc.
+ Running term in TipTop lets you run a SLIP-like connection to a
remote site. You can have several terminal sessions connected
to a remote site, while transfering files, and executing
remote commands at the same time. (You can even run remote
X-window clients connected to your local X-server.)
Installation
============
1. Copy TipTop.app into your favorite application directory (e.g.,
/LocalApps).
2. su to root and:
chown uucp.daemon /LocalApps/TipTop.app/TipTop
chmod u+s,g+s /LocalApps/TipTop.app/TipTop
(Replace /LocalApps by the the actual directory path in which
you installed the program.)
3. Run the program.
If you don't want to run TipTop as set-uid uucp.daemon, you can change
the permissions for the cu port(s) directly. Instead of step 2 above
do the following:
2'. su to root and:
chmod ugo+rw /dev/cu*
