This may have already been explained somewhere, or may have been discussed into the ground on these forums. Maybe not but since I have only recently started following these forums I will ask.
Is it possible to have the Red Box on OSX ?

Discuss

I never remember hearing of a Red Box. There were Yellow Box (Cocoa) and Blue Box (Classic), but no Red Box. Oh wait, are you referring to the phreaking device? If so, no doubt you could open up an IOUserClient to the serial port and then communicate with the modem or similar.

Redbox = Windows compatibilty layer for Rhapsody

[udecker]

No, there was never a Windows Compatibility environment for Rhapsody - some people just extrapolated the "redbox" from the fact that we had yellow and blue.

I played around with Bochs for a while (it's a unix opensource x86 emulator) and actually got it running on Xfree Darwin a couple of months ago (running FreeDOS), but it was frighteningly slow. I would imagine that playing with something like that (x86 emulators that aren't VPC) might enable people eventually to be able to run Windows apps - if they could speed it up enough and make it run "rootless."

I'd love to hear about anyone else's experience with these sorts of things.
