Andrei -- I just looked at the FT-950 manual that you can download  
from the Yaesu site and it appears that the rig will do both FSK and  
AFSK (manual page 101, actual page 103).  I don't have a Yaesu but my  
Kenwood TS-940S looks like it works the same way.  You can feed a FSK  
signal (on/off switching) that causes the FT-950 to transmit FSK.   
Although it's transparent to the user the Kenwood is actually sending  
AFSK that it is deriving internally from the master reference  
oscillator....but in the FSK mode you can use the FSK dedicated  
filtering.  Obviously you have to use audio tone input for the sound  
card modes.  The back panel has an accessory port for both kinds of  
input.

Hope this helps....am sure a Yaesu user will chime in here to give  
you a real perspective.
