[WriteLog] CW keying with WL

[George Johnson]

Doug,
You can add transistor keying to either the parallel port or a serial Com 
port.  The parallel port will not directly drive an optoisolator but the 
serial port will.  I would recommend the transistor and use whichever type 
of port you have available.  The parallel port is a little easier IMHO.
