No, MacLoggerDX can control hardware modems (TNC's) but currently has 
no software modems included.

The RigBlaster PRO contains neither hardware nor software modems and is 
simply a switching interconnect box that interfaces your radio with 
software modems in a computer:

Software modems for the Mac include MultiMode and DarwinPSK...
