I'm in full agreement. When at PJ7 I use a laptop with a standard serial
port for rig control and a second PCMCIA serial port to control FSK keying,
Morse keying, PSK and PTT all on a single port. Details can be found on:
http://www.aa5au.com/rttyinterface.html
The laptop uses XP for the operating system and proper Morse keying (my
favored mode) has never been an issue.

It worked perfectly. The interface is no more difficult
