Hi Don,

VOX enables transmit, Rig Control moves the VFO in TX mode to prevent 
harmonic distortion if audio is overdriven. If you can't get rig control 
working, simply be careful with setting the level that the computer 
sends to the Line Input (I'd try to make it work at 60%), and also in 
setting the Line Input control for ALC at 4 bars flashing 5. Reducing 
drive from the computer may require increasing VOX gain.

I can't help with Mac stuff.
