Hi Omar...

i'm thinking that unless Real starts to officially _support_ MacOS X
as a server, it's not going to be an option. The RA Server is *not*
Open Source, at least the last time i checked. Even if the port was
easy, you'd have to wait for *them* to recompile it.

Might be a good thing to ask them to do, assuming Apple hasn't already
asked them. :}
