[TenTec] Macintosh OS X control with Orion

[Randy K7RAN]

Thank you, Tommy. Well I think I found the site -- K1EL.com. I'll  
take a look. If I can't find something like DigiPan for the Mac, I  
may have to just grit my teeth, hi, and get a dedicated PC for the  
Orion. Then again, PC prices have sunk so low that the incremental  
cost is pretty negligible. Still going to try to hunt for Mac stuff  
first, though, if I can.

73,
