Does anyone know of a good terminal program that can sync the
phonebook? I've got a Mac and two windows machines that I want to
share the phonebook with. It doesn't look like SyncTerm really
supports that at all

Syncterm stores its phonebook in a file called `syncterm.lst` in the
appropriate location for your OS (e.g. ~/.syncterm/syncterm.lst on
Linux, something under %APPDATA% on Windows, etc.).

Use whatever tool you use for file sync (e.g. Dropbox, SyncThing,
Nextcloud, etc.) to sync this -- the easiest solution is to move the
file into your sync directory and symlink to it from the spot syncterm
looks for it on each system.

It really doesn't make sense for individual applications to implement
their own config/data sync functionality.
