[WriteLog] Windows XP and parallel port keying problem

[A. Sewell N5NA]

If you need to use the LPT port with XP for SO2R you should try a small
driver program called UserPort.  N1EU has a writeup on his web site how he
configured UserPort for CW keying on the LPT port.  It will probably work
for other uses of the LPT port as well.  The N1EU web site it at
http://www.albany.net/~bg/

Just look in the Writelog folder under Tips.
