[Ham-Mac] microham on a mac

[Jim Lee]

Running as root, editing plist files, using the command line - these are 
all non-ham related things that one must thoroughly understand first in 
order to do anything useful with them.  You sound as though you're 
stabbing in the dark, and that is the quickest way to render your Mac 
unusable.

I built my own USB to serial interface, so I don't have a suggestion for 
you other than to research the available commercial offerings and choose 
one that has strong Mac/Unix support.  This is not the kind of problem 
that can be solved easily via mailing list.

I was going to try this and re-install but I don't think it will do any good. I bought this thing because they said they support mac now I think I wasted my money This is all new to me and is is very frustrating Thank you
