[aprssig] Trouble Connecting & Configuring KPC 3+ to an Intel Duo iMac

[Brian B. Riley]

MacAPRS Carbon, does not work with serial yet ..... that is your  
problem.

For the moment give "Packetograph" a look <http://homepage.mac.com/kd6cji/

In general you will want to look at <http://machamradio.com/> for ham  
radio in general.

... as George wrote, you definitely want a copy of ZTerm. It will talk  
to a TNC out the port just fine.
