Hi there,
is there a possibility to control a serial port's TX line on bitlevel, like
"EscapeCommFunction(hComm,SETRTS)? I need to put the next pattern on the
serial port:

RTS 11111111111111111111000000000000000000011111111111111111111111
 TX 111111111111111111110000000000000000000000000111111111111111111
                                        time---->

Is it possible using the WinAPI?
Of not, how can I do reach my goal?
Because of some excisting hardware, it's not possible to switch to another
serial pin.

Thanks for your help,
Jeroen
