    I got this working using the instructions found here http://www.trick77.com/2008/03/16/how-to-use-the-holux-m-241-gps-logger-on-the-mac/

    With 2 exceptions.

    The name of the serial port was /dev/tty.iBT-GPS-SPPslave-1

    And i got the error java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no rxtxSerial

    So I copied the file librxtxSerial.jnilib from /Applications/GPS/rxtx/Mac_OS_X to /Applications/GPS/rxtx

    That way the library could be found by java.  I don't know if this was the most elegant solution (I am not a Java guy) but it worked for me.

      Thank you for your feedback.

      In principle this should be implemented the 'bt747_macosX.command' script (current version to be viewed at
      http://bt747.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bt747/trunk/BT747/bt747_macosX.command?revision=386&view=markup )

      On one hand the BT port should be added as a possible port.

      On the other hand the path settnig should be checked out (in principle the " -Djava.library.path=${RXTX_BIN_PATH} " option should be sufficient if the RXTX_BIN_PATH is set correctly.

      So if a Mac user can tweak this start script then it can be integrated in the release.
