Software

Xastir all the way! This is one of the best APRS clients available today. It runs on many platforms and is supported by an active community of developers. I personally have run it on Macs, Linux machines, PC's and a few other odds and ends, as well. In the past I've also used UI-View, but, as this is no longer actively developed, I would not recommend it.

Hardware

I have and use a Bayonics TinyTrak and a Kantronics KPC 3+. In Spring of 2007 I added a Tinytrak 3+ with the cablesfor a Deluo GPS to my collection.

One I'd like to give a try to someday is the WhereAVR

I've used a IOGear GU232 Serial/USB adapter on the mac to connect Xastir to the KPC3+. It did require some tinkering around with the drivers to get it to work correctly. The following links were helpful:
