I think you should use 'c123xor' rather than 'c123'.  Apart from that,
I cannot comment if it works (or should work) on MacOS.  Maybe somebody
else on this list uses MacOS and can comment on it.

Please don't discuss sim unlocking on this mailing list, it is really
off-topic.  The locking is implemented in the original Motorola/Compal/Ti
software, which we absolutely don't use in this project.  So whatever locks
are in place, it simply doesn't matter.
