Ed, as I wrote, I did edit DEVICE to ttyS0 with no effect. I have read 
every doc, README, TODO, changelog, etc. document that I can find using 
a file search for "cwdaemon," and have either tried what is suggested 
without success, or do not understand what is advised. (man cwdaemon 
duplicates information from one of the readme's, as far as I can tell.) 
If your Xlog and cwdaemon "works well" with the O2, please tell us about 
your connection and your software edits!

Dave, I think you're right... my reading of the O2 manual is that 
external keying is done through the Aux/IO cable and the computer's 
sound card.

Jerry, thanks for your comment... there are schematics for both parallel 
and serial port cwdaemon connections among the documentation. I've 
looked at them, but I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to build one 
of these devices. Maybe it is. I'm still looking forward to having 
someone who actually keys his O2 using Xlog to explain how he does it.
