Sure - That's what I usually do.  I have rig control on one port and a
FSK/PTT cable on another.  Works fine.  I could also do PTT via CAT rig
control, but I don't usually do it that way.  I think you will have to tell
us more details about how you're configured before anyone can help you any
more.  How is your "PTT function" configured, exactly.  What cable to what
components etc?
