does Xlog not send the CW to a serial or parallel port? i use MixW and it
sends the keying to your choice of several serial ports or the parallel port

Yes, Jack, you're right... though I didn't see anything in the Orion
manual about serial-cable keying.
Here's part of the Xlog manual's brief entry on keying: "The keyer
window, available under the Tools Menu, is in fact a simple (contesting)
interface for cwdaemon."
Going to cwdaemon, the README in /usr/share/cwdaemon begins with this:
Cwdaemon is a small daemon which uses the pc parallel or serial port
and a
simple transistor switch to output morse code to a transmitter from a
text
message sent to it via the udp internet protocol. The program uses the
soundcard or PC speaker to generate a sidetone.
It is called as root, with "cwdaemon -p <portnumber> -d <device>". If no
portnumber is given, the default portnumber 6789 is used. Device can
be one of
the serial (ttyS0, ttyS1, etc) or parallel (parport0, parport1, etc)
ports.
Default is parport0.
...and here's the start of /etc/default/cwdaemon:
# /etc/default/cwdaemon
# OK1ZIA 17 Aug 2004
#
# Start cwdaemon at boot? yes or no
START_CWDAEMON=yes
# device without /dev/ e.g. ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyUSB0, ttyd0 (FreeBSD),
parport0,
# parport1, ... or null for no port keying.
# Default for linux: parport0 with ppdev driver
DEVICE="parport0"
I tried editing DEVICE to ttyS0, the serial port that handles the
Orion's serial cable, but this had no apparent effect on Xlog's keyer
behavior.
