Ask and ye shall receive. Tom is the one who mentioned N3FJP software, and
on Scott's web site, he has plans for and options to purchase pre-built
cw interfaces in either serial or parallel models.
http://www.n3fjp.com/
Or a google search for "cw keying interface" will kick up more results for
plans or pre built ones that will keep you busy for a week.
