Ditto,

For running SO2R, I've been forced to go to AFSK.  I don't have an extra serial port available, let alone two.  And I hate to dig into the contest computer that's working and mess with the pandoras box of IRQ's just to do FSK.  Too bad the MultiKeyer doesn't do FSK.  Or if the FSK can be put on the parallel port, could it be switched to send on either rig depending on the transmit focus?  This would certianly end some headaches for me!
