Thanks Jim.. Unlike a PC sound card with appropriate audio input/output I was wondering how a laptop could achieve same without a USB interfaceand if the Omni VI CAT control would appear somewhere in the scheme of things?

If your station is properly bonded, including the laptop, it should work fine. Digital modes CAN work BETTER with a decent USB interface. "Better" in this context means a better A/D converter, which can improve the ability to decode weaker signals. I use a Tascam US100 at home, and a Numark Stereo I/O for portable work.
