Whoa... not so fast...
Not necessarily... Most of the USB-serial converters DON'T work for
computer generated CW.
They MAY work for rig control.
Search the archives of this reflector for more detail.

It doesn't have to be a big deal.
Go to EBay and buy a new Belkin F5U103 USB to Serial
converter for $10. This will take care of rig control and cw
keying.
If you want to do rtty with afsk, you just need a few
resistors and an isolation transformer. If you want to do
rtty with FSK, then buy another Belkin F5U103 for FSK.
