This is an exact description of what the AEA MM-3 did 20 years ago.  This is 
funny because before TRlog could generate code with the computer, you used 
an AEA keyer like this, and the computer would send ASCII to the keyer 
through a serial port.  Tree even got AEA to modify the firmware so that you 
could cmomand the keyer to stop (which you couldn't in the inital version). 
It was pretty slick.

Deja vu.
