Thank you Bruce & Fabian,
I downloaded Zterm but it doesn't seem the serial port.
Even tried connecting the WMR968 to my miniG4
and downloaded the Classic Zterm. Still nothing.
not sure if my adapter is null-modem
Not sure exactly how to use Zterm but it doesn't indicate that it's
finding a serial port.

There's another app our of NZ Weather-Display that is well supported
but they have only a 10.5 version in Mac.

As a last ditch effor, I'll give the Keyspan a try.
May well end up that I need to change the whole set up.
