[Elecraft] K2 with MacOS Classic

If you don't have an RS232 port, you don't have a DTR to connect to, and you
won't be keying your K2 that way.

All computer keyers are "straight key" to the K2, iambic is only for manual
paddles. Alternatively, some control programs tell the K2 to send the code,
but sending "KEY THIS" commands over the RS-232.

I'm not sure what you can do if you don't have RS-232 available. However,
even old macs had USB, so you may not be toast quite yet. However, I know
nothing about USB/rs232 adapters/software.
