Scot,
Like Sailmail, Xnet is a colaboration between volunteers wanting to expand and maintain an HF network. Our company (GMN) is involved with the Xnet association as a member. We dont own the HF stations and dont run them.
Unlike Sailmail, XNet splits the proceeds of the association fee evenly between the individual owners. This allows member stations to cover their operating expenses and eventually make $$ out of the venture.
The only way to make Xnet a world wide HF network is to promote it and encourage land based sailers all over the world to join.
We (GMN) have done our part to help promote HF for Mac users. We spent the money and the man hours to create the software which works over Xnet. We have also purchased two HF stations and joined the Xnet association.
Now its your turn.
If you really want a world wide HF network for Mac users then you will need to chip in. You will need to find and help sponsor stations that will provide you the services you require.
Interested parties should e-mail info@xnetmail.com and/or checkout the website at http://www.xnetmail.com
If you are unwilling to do that then you will have to suffer the concequences... you will be relegated to running windows as your punishement!
