The current Airmail software, USB modem and USB cable offered, all work well under Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Although operation with other older windows operating systems (ie Win 98, 2000 etc) is possible, performance can be erratic and no technical support is provided. Airmail also runs on MAC systems running Windows with Boot Camp, Parallels, or similar programs (we do not provide support for Apple Mac systems).

Although a CD with detailed help files is provided with each modem purchase, sometimes you just cannot beat the convenience of having a physical reference booklet sitting by your pactor modem installation (to look up those not so often used features of the Airmail software).  The 68-page Sailors' Quick-Start Guide to SailMail / Airmail / Winlink 2000 is chock-full of detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and more than 70 screen shots to quickly get you sending e-mail and receiving Weather FAX. This booklet is included with your modem purchase.
