[CQ-Contest] Beginning Contesting?

[Tom Wagner]

Yes, you can send cw and use CAT from the same 
serial port.  The best place to ask these 
specific questions is in the group shown
in the sig.

As far as I know, with N1MM you cannot do both CAT and
CW from the same serial port.  You can do CW from the
LPT port, so I would do that (hopefully your laptop
has one parallel port).   If not, the other option is
to use a USB-to-serial adapter for the CAT connection,
and the "real" serial port for CW.  

Or, if you have a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, you can add an
adapter there for either serial or parallel.
