Oh, I am like the prodigal son.  I have heard of it, though.

I have it running with the eMac, FT-1000mp, and DigiKeyer.

Despite what I read on other mailing lists, at this moment I am
not finding digital signals on 40m.  It all seems to be working, though.

Evidently, the RTTY contesters conducted a survey in which they
gathered several pieces of information from numerous people.
There is information, for example, about those using X for RTTY
contests using Y for non-contest operating.  As I recall, many of
those using Writelog (predominant in US) use another program
for casual operating.

Anyway, I see cocoaModem as a perfect program to use when
not involved in a contest.

MacLoggerDX as a great for DX Cluster etc to use along with it, too.

Unfortunately, I see Writelog as the program to use for CW and RTTY
(with the MMTTY plug-in) contests.
