Cort,

Not sure what your application is so these may or may not work for you. This was from a recent ARRL Contest update:

Bob, N6TV, announces the release of the "Serial Box" (S-BOX), which is a "configurable, passive nine-pin serial port Y-splitter and amplifier interface box." According to Bob, it can provide automatic frequency tracking and band change information from a nine-pin serial connector on a modern transceiver to compatible amplifiers made by Elecraft, ACOM, or SPE. The unit also features four configurable PTT outputs. Bob has made information, schematics, and photos available online.

This is from Hamation. Was looking at maybe needing this for a SO2R setup:

And last, haven't done this yet either, but if all you need is band data and not exact frequency out then N1MM can output that on an actual LPT port on a desktop computer. Put an LPT card in and use N1MM to output the data. Bill, N4IQ told me about that. He uses it in his SO2R setup. Uses a multiport LPT card. N1MM says it doesn't work with a USB to LPT adapter though. It only outputs band data using an actual LPT port.
