I have no experience with the Signal Link unit, but I use AFSK RTTY, 
JT65, JT9, ISCAT, and FSK441, making thousands of QSOs in a weekend 
contest. I've never used anything but VOX for any voice or digital mode, 
whether I was using the sound card built into my laptop or a nice USB 
sound card. It makes life MUCH simpler, and it works quite reliably if 
you set it up well.

Like with any VOX setup, you start with high VOX sensitivity while 
you're getting modulation levels right, then set the VOX for reliable 
operation. There are detailed setup instructions for audio levels (but 
not for setting VOX) in my review of USB sound cards at
