Yep.  Ran in the RTTY RoundUp this last weekend.  My setup is "maximally 
minimalist" ... two RS stereo cables between LINE IN/OUT on the K3 and 
LINE OUT/IN on the laptop running N1MM+MMTTY.  I have the K3 in AFSK, 
PITCH=915Hz [I can't hear anything above about 1200 anyway].  Set 915Hz 
in MMTTY.  If your computer has only a MIC input, you'll probably need 
an attenuator feeding it, you can make one from a couple of resistors, 
or you can get one from Radio Shack.  This same thing works with the K2, 
you do need the SSB adapter and the attenuator into the MIC jack.  I 
used that for several years before getting the K3.
