No modem/TNC or outboard device required, just the software.
Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

There are two programs that I know of that are for Windows but work in 7.10.
They are CwGet and CwType. CwGet works with your PC's sound card. Just run an external speaker plug from the jack on the rig to your sound card. It types the CW on your screen. CwType transmits your keyboard input to the transceiver. I believe you need an interface card for that but read the doc to be sure.
You'll need Wine installed. Both programs installed in 7.10 but not in my fresh install of 8.04. They may carry over with an upgrade.
