[TenTec] CW with O2, Fldigi, and SignaLink

To those who offered help with my entry into digital modes, thanks... I 
haven't pursued all of your advice yet but thought I'd see if I could 
get the Kubuntu computer to interact with the O2 using CW.

With Fldigi set for OpMode = CW, and "CW" in the little box under the 
frequency window, clicking on "CQ" causes the SignaLink red PTT 
indicator to light, the Orion 2 carrier to come on, "CQ... de K3GHH..." 
to appear in the Fldigi panes (black in the sent pane, red in the 
receive), and the SignaLink relay to click out the Fldigi "CQ..." message.

But the O2 just puts out a steady carrier until Fldigi's "CQ" message 
ends; it's not being keyed.

The Orion CW menu has "PTT in CW as: Key". I wired the SignaLink jumpers 
as the TigerTronics Cables site shows for the Orion and O2: 1 to Mic, 2 
to ground, 3 to PTT, and 4 to Spkr.

What am I missing? I hope the list isn't too long.
