Starting

Download the package and move the unzipped folder to your application folder, or wherever you want. Inside the folder is a documentation provided. Or you can read/download the doc file here.

Requirements

RUMped works with MySQL! You have to install it on your machine, or need access to a server anywhere in your local network or internet. Each logfile will generate a new database. Here you can download MySQL. Scoll down to the Mac section.

RUMped can use cocoaModem2.0 (Ver. 0.26 minimum) as modem for RTTY, BPSK and Hellschreiber.
