I use a Byterunner PCI-410HSP , 4 COM's plus 1LPT. I have NO problem 
generating direct FSK (SO2R even) using MMTTY plus Writelog and DX4WIN. I 
run WIN98SE on an 800MHZ ASUS P-III motherboard,  as an operating system ( 
I did have problems until I downloaded an updated set of drivers form their 
WEBsite...( I can't speak for other operating systems...the secret for the 
most part seems to be in the drivers)

I also have very good success with SiiG cards I have a Siig PCI-Expander 4S 
(4 COMs) . The folks at SiiG also showed me how to go into the Registry and 
renumber the COM ports from the defaults that Windows wants to assign them.

Both SiiG and  Byterunner have above average tech support overall in my 
experince. You just can't expect them to solve the problem the day before 
the contest 8^) !!
