What linux program will allow me to hook my Morse straight key to the computer to practice my fist in preparation for a code test? xcwcp is broken in this respect at the moment.

Greetings: OM can't help with your exact request but I did find an old floppy with some "morse" programs for the older Dos PC's..
I wont detail anything unless you tell me you might use one of them. Some of the filenames are: morse.zip suprmors.exe,.doc and .cfg.. Another file, morse.txt, talks about practicing receiving as well as sending practice using the PC's speaker.. Don't see a mention of where or how you hook up the key.. They, also, may not work with a newer PC with fast CPU's.. The docs talk about 12mHz.. <grin>
At one time I did see some morse practice programs for Linux but I can't find now.. Perhaps Google/linux can help?

Well, I can at least enter morse with the keyboard keys with
http://packages.debian.org/xcwcp, though hooking up a real key with xcwcp is broken at the moment. So I guess xcwcp will have to do, as I don't want to leave Linux, nor tamper with keyboard wiring.
