For RTTY contesting N1MM(free) is the way to go for a PC. For the Mac there
is RUMped. RUMped is a little tricky to set up. The author's documentation
is way behind the current version (he is a busy person) and it's not quite
as good as N1MM.

I've been a RTTY operator on and off for many years, in the 1980s I used a
Creed 444 teleprinter, progressed onto an Acorn Atom computer and I'm now
using fldigi on an iMac. Fldigi works very well, I've put together a good
set of contest macros and I've used it with success over the last couple of
years but I now feel I've outgrown it.
My requirements are (I hope) quite straightforward. I'd like to be able
to operate the majority of RTTY contests (it would be nice to be able to do
PSK31/63 as well), including ones such as BARTG HF RTTY where part of the
exchange is the current time. I'd like a real time display of statistics
showing mults worked, current score etc and I'd like DXCluster integration
so that I can find multipliers and hopefully QSY direct to them, work them
and switch back to my run frequency afterwards. At the moment I'm
operating almost exclusively by running and that's clearly detrimental to
my final score.
My computer is an iMac but I will set up a dedicated XP or Windows 7
virtual machine just for this. My radio is a Kenwood TS-590 and I have
just a single USB cable between the rig and the computer. Everything goes
down that USB cable, both CAT and the built in sound card on the 590.
fldigi and flrig run on both the G4 and Intel OS X machines
You will find the TS590S fully supported by flrig. fldigi can operate
on a large range of digital modes including RTTY.
You can also run both of those programs on a Windows machine (including
XP, Vista, Win7, Win8) if you prefer.
