Yes, thank you -- we're aware of XGate, but have heard conflicting reports of how easy (or not) it is to use with Mac. It could be that older versions of Mac required the installation of other Windows-based software in order to make it work, and that newer Mac OS (we both have Leopard) work just fine w/o other software needed for compatibility, but even looking at the XGate site, it claims Mac compatibility but doesn't indicate that it will allow use of Safari (but does work for Explorer, etc).

We'd love to hear from someone who is using Iridium and Mac for communications (Internet, weather, email) and how that's working, and what, if any, particular adjustments, additional software, was needed. Thanks again Smile
