Hello All,
Just a short note to let you know that GMN's XGate e-mail compression software and service for Pactor/HF and Satellite phones has been ported to the Mac. We are currently looking for registered XGate/OCENS.Mail users to test the product and make suggestions for a final release version planed this spring.
Here is the call for tester notice. Please contact me directly if you are interested in evaluating this software.
The Mac version is a fully functional version of xgate which dials, connects, sends/receives e-mail, and disconnects.
We are looking for about 10 mac users that are computer savvy and self reliant to test the software. These users should be current GMN/OCENS users familiar with xgate.
There is no installer so a manual procedure needs to be executed to
a) Install the dialup adapters
b) Install (from a dmg) and configure XGate for use with the Mac mail program
c) configure XGate to use the dial locations setup in (a)
Our expectation is that these users will be able to find and help resolve issues on the mac. They should be willing to expend some effort helping to identify issues and propose possible solutions. We will be depending on these users to help us create a wireless e-mail solution for the general mac community.
We currently have support for Iridium, Globalstar, and Pactor HF XNet although any device with a modem script should work. We also have support for Prolific and Keyspan USB to serial adapters. XGate will run on ppc and i386 macs running OS X 10.4
Heare things that you will be able to do with XGate:
a) Use the mac e-mail client to send/receive compressed based e-mail with mid file restart
b) use GPSNavX's MacWX to request weather data
c) Mail filtering, big mail management, sms, and all other XGate features.
a full description of xgate an its features can be viewed on our general xgate page at http://www.globalmarinenet.com/email.htm
Thanks,
