I have an Iridium and MacBook; currently with 10.4. After searching these forums will use XGate for weather and emails across the top of Australia. My question; what connects the Iridium to the MacBook?

A Keyspan Serial to USB adapter..

Do make sure to contact GMN to make sure your specific Iridium phone is Mac OS X compatible.

Thanks for the information on the Keyspan and yes, I will make sure I have a compatible phone.

Just checked. I have the XGate compatible9505A
