[Xlog-discussion] Keyer

[John]

Using Xlog 2.0.10, I'm trying to get the keyer going. Cwdaemon is 
installed ("cwdaemon" in /usr/sbin and /usr/share; both with root as 
owner and group). Since I don't have a cable from the parallel port to 
the transceiver yet, I'm just testing the keyer.

None of the F keys gives anything from the computer --- no CW sidetone 
from the speakers (cwdaemon's default sound device), not even any CW 
clicks or hums from inside the machine as I used to hear with my old 
computer. Kmix has "built-in analog stereo" selected for everything, and 
both external speakers test OK.

Years ago I never did get around to building a switch that would let me 
actually use the keyer, but with earlier versions of the software and a 
previous computer I could hear the F messages through my speaker and 
something (diode or relay) clicking out the CW inside the box. Don't 
recall doing anything special, just installing Xlog and cwdaemon.

Any suggestions?
