[WriteLog] LPT CW in WL via UserPort in XP - solving the addressing problem

[Jim Brown]

WriteLog does not support parallel ports in any of the operating
systems based on OS/2 (i.e., NT, W2K, XP Pro). There are third party
applications that can give access to the parallel ports.

Under W2K, I am very successfully keying either a TenTec Omni V.9 and
an Elecraft K2 via the serial port of an IBM T22. All it takes is a
wire from the DTR line to the base of a garden variety NPN transistor
through 1K, with the collector going to the key line of the rig and the
emitter going to ground. If you have more than one serial port
available you can key (and control) more than one rig at a time.
