Thanks Alex
I hadn't thought of the second form, but I am using 2 different comm ports.
I'm trying to use a double serial port PCMCIA card I just purchased for my
laptop. I'm not trying to use the ports to send or receive data. I'm
interested in having the DTR (pin 4) supply the power and monitor the CD, DSR
and CTS properties in each MScomm to get a total of 6 descrete inputs. The
supplier of the card seems to think the card I have detects for a connectioin
before activating the DTR voltage unlike my other laptop that has a serial
port which has this power active all the time. I will be receiveing a
different card shortly. If you have any suggestions that may help me realize
these input signals I'll be listening
