Mac OS X Instructions for Pharos Popups

Note added September 2008: For Mac OS, you use an older version of the Pharos Popup for Mac OS 10.3 than for newer versions of Mac OS X. Also, the Mac OS X Popups are a bit different than most client software, in that they support multiple versions of the server software. In particular, the current Popup clients support Version 6, 7, and 8 of the server. Thus, people using Mac OS will not have to upgrade their Popup when we upgrade the server.

Confirm ports 515 and 28303 are open on any firewall you are running.

Popup is currently not compatible with the Fast User Switching feature of Mac OS X 10.3 and later. Always disable Fast User Switching when installing Popup on a client machine.
