All:
Managed to work Falconsat this morning using UZ7HO's Soundmodem, WISP and VSP. I don't have a PTT circuit so I had to use the rigs MOX function to send file requests. I wouldn't recommend doing that for obvious reasons -- need to build a PTT circuit ASAP.
If anyone is interested, this video guide shows the basics on how to setup Wisp and Soundmodem using HW-VSP. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ahlA-bRb5A

Congrats, Tony!
The following relay has been working very well for me to handle PTT:

... I use 5 VDC from a USB cable for the coil voltage with the application of that coil voltage being triggered by the serial RTS signal from HS_Soundmodem. The above relay is great for that since the coil circuit is controlled by an opto-isolator that can be operated by a low level signal like the serial RTS.
The following item sure made it easy to attach a pair of wires to serial RTS & ground:
