I've never tested this from OSX, so...

Well, let's start with that - first, what version (exactly) of
sipx-trace are you using? Where did you get it (you didn't install on a
Mac from an RPM :-) ).
Exactly what command line did you enter that failed?

The details vary a bit depending on which version of sipx-trace you're
using, but yes, that's how it is supposed to work.

It should accept a file name from the command line (the sipx-trace
script does exactly the same thing), so this is clearly another problem.
Again, knowing which version of sipviewer you've installed on your Mac
would be helpful.

Several :-) ... and while I don't think they'll make it into the first
release of 4.2, they are in progress...
