Bob,
I happen to run two PCs:  one running CT Version 10 on DOS and the other
running CTWin Version 10 on Windows 98.  I also use CVB with a homebrew
interface that uses the LPT output for keying the radio.  With Version
10, LPT doesn't work with either the DOS or Win98 PC!!  Going back to CT
Version 9 works just fine.

Gerry, W1GD

One caution, make sure you're using CT-DOS.
CTWin doesn't appear to support voice keying
from the LPT port.

the LPT ports, making sure that it is configured properly (like ECP). 
Pins 3,4,5, &6 correspond to messages F1, F2, F3, F4.  Output of the 
parallel port is 5V positive going.  Ground is 11.  One problem you will

have to solve is that the STOP function in the 434 is a separate button.

  On the DVP card it is ESC.   You will find that you will only get 3 
messages out of this setup, having to probably dedicate one F button to 
STOP.
