Yes I have actually accessed a OneRNG from a MacOS terminal emulator it gets a 
very long name - the best way to figure out which is to have a look at the 
available serial ports -  then plug in the OneRNG - look at the list again and 
open the new device that has just appeared (I'm sure there's a MacOS API for 
finding particular USB devices that will help you automate this).

But in general treat it as a serial port, set the baud rate to 152000 
(shouldn't really matter), 8 bit,  no flow control, no echo, raw - just typing 
"O" should start data flowing (if not try "o0O" lowercase-o, zero,uppercase-O)
