Yep , I posted the question on Reddit too. I'm not quite sure how to compile the sourcecode on a ppc. I know how to do it on my ubuntu machines (found a great tutorial on youtube) but i don't suppose commands like "apt" work on ppc. I can try to download the tarball and unpack it. See what happens. i'm not completely sure my G3 has all the libraries I need to run syncterm but i can try and find out.
Did find somebody who precompilled it for intel macs but unfortunately it was a dead link. I will keep you posted on my progress.

I've been playing around with BBS's for a couple of weeks now and
thought it would be great to run syncterm from an old PPC iMac G3. I was wondering if any of you know if there are any PPC binaries out there I
can find ?

I don't have any PPC hardware and don't know much about compiling, but I did manage to compile it on OpenBSD, which might be relevant for compiling it on OSX.

The summary of the OpenBSD process is:
References:
Meatlotion's Linux compile instructions: https://www.erb.pw/how-to-install-syn Bugs 40, 41, and 80 from the SyncTERM bug tracker: https://sourceforge.net/p/s A lot of searching and learning about compiling in OpenBSD.

Note that I may have missed a dependency here. Shouldn't be too hard to find i

Run this as root:
pkg_add unzip gcc git
git clone https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs.git
cd sbbs/src/syncterm
st_path=$(pwd | sed 's/\/syncterm$//g')
gmake SRC_ROOT=$sst_path
gmake install
which syncterm

It installed to /usr/local/bin/syncterm on my system. Running "syncterm -iSF" runs it full screen, stretched to fit. SSH works as you would expect.
