Same here. Keyspan USA-19HS and USA-19HW both work great for me, but have not tried it with the CT-17. I'm plugging directly in to an FT-847, and using MacDoppler to also control it as well as my LVB Tracker on my Yaesu 5500. Good, solid combo. If you're into some experimentation, you can buy a little FTDI FT-232 breakout board from Sparkfun electronics and wire up your own USB to TTL converter. Cheap and very reliable as well, and I've used these for a number of ham control projects. If memory serves right, the FT-232 chip is what's used in the USB interface for the LVB Tracker:
