By "sound" I assume you mean CW sidetone on the PC speaker?  That probably
will never work on an Imac as it requires BIOS "beep" support.  But of
course you don't really need it or want it during a contest.  Or are you
talking about Sound Card Voice Keying?

This web site<http://www.serialio.com/support/SerialMagic/Windows/USB_Parallels.php>seems
to explain how to get USB-to-serial adapters working on Parallels.
Then you could see if DTR pin keying works (set up the virtual COM port as
"Other Interface" in Win-Test Interface Configuration, press Configure
button, specify CW on DTR).

There is also a section in the
Wiki<http://docs.win-test.com/wiki/running_on_Linux>about running
Win-Test on Linux using Wine.  That may also give you some
clues or options.

If you get CW working with Parallels, or if you fail to get it to work using
any of the suggested techniques, please document the results in this
reflector.

Thanks.
