I asked this exact question on N1MM's yahoo reflector not too long ago, but
did not get a response from anyone.  Last time I tried it, using a <single>
RS232 cable for CW and CAT, the MM's CW <did> work nicely, but I was NOT
able to get esc to stop the CW. Don't know if there's a change in MM
behavior, or whether you and I are doing something different.

That the principal writers cannot lay hands on a K3 to test things
apparently is (or maybe was? ) a bit of a holdup.  Since it's a free
program, there's no corporate research budget for the coders to go buy one,
other than to wait in line and spend the cash out of their own pocket, like
everyone else.  



I'd like to see MM use the winkey-ish K3 send text commands instead of doing
the timing dependent key line on RTS/DTR. That too has been discussed over
there.
