Xweb will work with any web browser. The compression service is proxy based so its simply a matter of setting up the proxy settings appropriately for your browser to use the service.
MaXGate comes bundled with a version of firefox configured for xweb. The installation is a simple as dragging the X from the distribution dmg onto your desktop. To configure XGate for use with your iridum phone you run the DUN/Modem installer (under the xgate programs menu) and follow the instructions. This will create a new network location configured to dial through your Iridium phone.
Really... the installation could not be simpler.
The Mac version of xgate supports
- compression based e-mail
- compression based web browsing
- sailblogs posting of pictures, blogs, and position reports to your presonal web site
- vessel tracking
- sub accounts for crew and passengers
- webmail accresss to xgate
The software comes bundled with a preconfigured version of thunderbird mail for the mac so after you enter your username and password you can start sending e-mail right away.
I suggest you download the maxgate dmg and take a look for yourself. here is a link to the software
