Unfortunately the USB port is not as simple to use as the serial and parallel ports. I have had some luck using the Radio Shack USB to Serial port converter ( I think it was about $14 ). In fact I use one to control my FT1000MP from my PC. If the CW / RTTY software uses a high level programming language which in turn uses high level drivers, you can treat the new serial port that is created when you install the USB adaptor as any other serial port. If however the software uses direct calls to the hardware these won't work.
