There is a $19.95 interface kit described on Page 37 of the June QST.

When it comes to transmitting and receiving, you will need to also
connect your transceiver to the computer so that the tones generated
by your software and sound card are sent over the air. Thus you have
both IN and OUT of your sound card connected to your rig. You can also
achieve "control" of your rig via the software and cause the rig to
change frequency, transmit or switch to receive (and a few other
things). Do do this, most hams have an "interface" that goes between
the rig and the PC. The interface can be built for about $25 worth of
parts, but many hams buy one. These interfaces range from the very
simple and effective to the very sophisticated and effective . Some
use circuitry that achieves full computer assisted operation and some
do do it via simple use of VOX (Signal link). For most operations VOX
will be fine but there are some more advanced applications that cannot
be used via VOX.
