[Ham-Mac] usb to serial cable and driver

[Andrew Madsen]

I second John's recommendation of the Keyspan USA-19HS. Stay away from the cheap, generic cables. Most of them use a chipset made by Prolific, and Prolific's Mac drivers don't work well, especially on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

As for logging software, I'm the author of Aether, another Mac logging program: http://www.aetherlog.com/ I'm happy to answer any questions you have about it.
