Yes, this is true for a number of rigs including the IC-756.

I am not familiar with the CE Keyer - do you have a web page URL for it 
or did you mean the CW Keyer ?

Do you mean DTR ? or do you mean that the rigblaster requires the use 
of the same line as the Icom ?
I have heard that some rigblasters don't work well with Mac serial 
ports. They expect a +/-12V signal, not +/-5V.

You can configure the MacLoggerDX Keyer to use DTR or RTS or both for 
CW.
The PTT can be controlled by DTR, RTS or a software command.
You can use them in any combination - subject to the serial port 
requirements of the radio.
