If you have a serial port  you can go for the simple and cheap interface , get an USB to RS-232 adapter to control de radio  and you will have it

If you have a LPT port , thinking is an old computer  is no need for an USB adaptor

here a few examples of interfaces you can build or buy

To send CW with WL do I need some type of interface box between my rig and
computer that's running XP?  I have a serial cable between my computer and
rig and can get WL to control it but it won't send CW if this is a function
that will work without an interface.  If I need a interface what's the best
type to use?  If no interface is needed what steps do I follow in WL to get this
function to work?
