You know all of this is good discussion.  The USB does not support 5 level code 
so it will not work with the soundcard rtty and FSK.  But also, for us older 
folks, if anyone is using WF1B or Writelog with a DUMB terminal, ST-6 or such, 
it will not work either.  When I wrote my first rtty program for the ST-6 and 
IBM PC, I used the UART chip in the comport to receive the 5 level code.

I guess what will happen when the comports go away, is that someone will have 
to come up with a hardward or software solution for converting the 8 to 5 and 5 
to 8 level code.
