Reading all the advice given, it becomes obvious that there is not
one "perfect" interface. But, I use the simplest one: two shielded
radio shack stereo audio cables to/from the soundcard (mine are
external to the computer) and the original USB/RS-232 adapter cable
from Elecraft. That runs my digital sw and spectrum display programs.
I did have to add a second USB/RS-232 cable because of a unique
situation where I needed RTS/DTR to connect to a separate com-port
from the one with RXD/TXD. This is a special control issue for eme,
which is probably of little application for the majority of readers
(I have two programs running that need dedicated com-ports):

Filters:
K3: FL1=13-KHz for FM/AM, FL2=2.8-KHz SSB, FL-3=open, FL-4=400-Hz CW, FL-5=open
KRX3: FL-2=2.8-KHz general purpose for diversity Rx
I don't live in a high RF density ham neighborhood so this is
adequate. DSP filtering handles the main operating needs.
That works well for me, but your modes, hardware accessories, and sw
may dictate a different configuration. Mine is always in process of
change so I expect to make ongoing reconfiguration of my station.
