Nope - My CW thru com port works fine with simple transistor interface, even
with lots of other things running, including my PC serving the internet to 3
other computers on the home network.  I actually have the W5XD keyer, but
have never gotten around to hooking it up because the CW keying is working
so well!  (Of course, I will eventually get to hooking it up for its other
benefits!  73
