[Ham-Mac] MixW on a mac?

[Chris Smolinski]

Hi Mike,

MultiMode can use either the DTR or RTS line from a serial port to 
control the PTT line on a rig. You'd need to see which one you need 
to control for your interface to work, and select it in the MultiMode 
preferences. Also be sure to pick the correct serial port. You'll 
need to use a USB/Serial adapter to connect to the 9 pin port on the 
interface.
