I use N1MM with both my K3 and K2 [for RTTY].  However, I can't get it 
to work with the KUSB adapter, although the adapter works fine with the 
K3 Utility program.  I also have a Targus PA70 adapter that provides 
serial, parallel, PS2 mouse, keyboard, and another USB port.  It works 
fine with N1MM.

PTT-KEY is set to RTS-DTR ... you can't set N1MM to send CW on RTS.
