I use the parallel port for keying & rig selection.  What I find to
be annoying is how one rig goes key down & into transmit when
the computer is switched off.  I have been meaning to do
something about that in my SO2R box, but TRlog should really
set the lines right when it starts for situations as Dave describes.
I would think this should be a relatively easy thing for Tree to do.
