I've specifically looked at the keying levels on two of my IBM laptops with a 
DC 
coupled scope. One has a built-in serial port (T22) and the other, a T41, uses 
a 
B&B Electronics PCMCIA dual serial port card.  Both put out more than enough to 
very solidly key the NPN interverter (sometimes called a level shifter) that 
needs to 
sit between the computer and the radio's keying line.  I have several inverters 
built 
up, all identical, that use a 2N4123 transistor that I had a lot of in my junk 
box. So 
far, I have used it to key a TS850, Omni V, K2, and TS790A.
