The only way you can run WinMX and many Windows based programs on a MAC is to use what they call an Emulator, this simulates a Windows enviroment for programs to run..heres an example of a popular one folks use mostly with Linux machines, however I do believe there is a version for MAC as well.

Can't tell you about mac, but under Linux with wine it works right out of the box, just give it a try

no idea... the winmxgroup installer runs fine just by running it with wine, then it installs everything and configures correctly, then winmx simply works... so i would assume that darwine should be able to run it fine... in theory

hmm, it *does* load the mozilla activex plugin on first start though - maybe that's the part that's not working?
