Hi Mal,
Many new PC's do not have a parallel port and many don't have serial ports,
especially laptop PC's. Many of us take laptops on dxpeditions.

Actually Ken you are pretty much modern. Most modern day 'home' computers,
which is what 95% of us use, have one serial and one parallel port. I just
had to replace all our 'home' computers because of a lightening strike. The
parallel port works for CW and the serial port is free for rig control(or
whatever). The handwriting is on the wall, however, because all three of
these computers had 4 usb ports( 2 in front and 2 in back).
Good luck...73

It sounds like I have some work to do to get into the modern era. At
present, CT-WIN accesses the LPT directly for CW sending.
