If you run a Windows emulation on the Mac I suppose it might work. There's is nothing really non-standard about anything WideClient does, but it would obviously depend on the fidelity of the emulation. However, as far as I was aware the later versions of Squawkbox don't use FSUIPC at all, so I don't see the point. WideFS only provides a Networked FSUIPC interface after all -- unless you are only thinking of the facility to send PTT and PVT calls via the SB Roger Wilco standard messaging system -- but that also only applies to Windows in any case.

If he's actually referring to XSquawkbox, that's an X-Plane product that doesn't work with FSX.
