You'll have to derive new connector classes to provide this
functionality.  The _cnxns protected member defined in the Connector
base class contains a UList of the connected connectors.  You can use

    Connector* Connector::Conn(UList*)

to extract the connector from each UList element.

An aside: I've found that there's rarely a good reason for asking a
connector for its peers.  There's usually a higher-level concept
behind the desire for this information, and it's often better
expressed in terms of dataflow or some other abstraction.  Make sure
you can't do what you want to do any other way before you start
subclassing.
