[NA-User] Solved! LPT for CW and external voice keyer

So, at this point from my logic I have either:
1.  A bad LPT cable
2.  3 bad LPT ports on the I/O card
3.  Made a stupid mistake or omission in the setup / config of my software.

I'm really hoping for option 3, then option 1.  Option 2 is bad.

FYI - I figured it out late last night.  It is a variant of option 3 (setup 
config of HARDWARE).  Three years ago when I installed the I/O card, I 
assumed that the 3 LPT ports (label A, B, and C on the card) would 
correspond to LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.  Last night I dug out the manual, and 
actually read it.  The default jumper settings for LPT ports mapped A=3, 
B=1, and C=2.  Once I had the cable on the right place AND told NA the 
right LPT#, all is well.

RTM next time would solve lots of problems.  Like I said, stupid 
mistake.  Thanks to all who replied direct.
