The 2400c/180 with 80MB runs with LinuxPPC very nicely, thank you
(OK, PCMCIA setup has been a little painful... but I'm told that the
G3 upgrades "just work"). Real applications? It runs emacs :-). Last
year I used it to prototype a web site with RDBMS integration; later
I moved it into production on Solaris servers with nary a change to
code or config.
So I think that there's no technical hurdle to OS X support - but
it'll likely come through Darwin and a 2400c loyalist, rather than
Apple.

OneClick is my favorite. I don't know if it works with VPC or not,
but it'll do just about anything - much more flexible than KeyQuencer
or any other macro program I've tried.
