[Chad Wasinger]

Thanks for the feedback. I want something simple, so hopefully the FSK will 
work for me.

Merry Christmas!

Actually it's pin 8, not 5. I use the DTR line on a COM port, with a
transistor level converter (identical to the simple FSK RTTY
interface[1]), to trigger it, with custom software. For testing
purposes, Hercules[2] is quite handy.
