Hi Rob,

yes, when sending dot's a blockwave should appear.
Changing the port should be easy, they are called parport0, parport1, etc on 
linux
(See 'man cwdaemon' or 'cwdaemon -h'). As the notes say: remove the lp kernel 
module
(which is used for printing) and make sure the ppdev module is loaded.

The default is always parport0.
I would be interested to know if the PTT is still working, since I have
been doing lots of code changes from 0.9.2 to 0.9.4.
