I recommend using SmartPropoPlus.
This will enable you to connect via your Microphone/Line-in socket.

Well, I was a little too curt.
The idea behind SmartPropoPlus (SPP) is minimum hardware. You just have to buy/build a cable that will connect your Tx instructor socket to your audio input.
The entire explanation is found in the
If you still encounter difficulties, please do not hesitate to ask. This will enable me to improve the documentation.
If the SPP misbehaves, do not despair. I have an improved version waiting to be posted. I will send it to you if you wish.
