From the "man" page you included above it looks like you need to tweek 
port 0FCH to switch to either the modem or the RS232 port. Try this:

    ;
    ; Switch to modem
    ;
    IN	    AL,0FCH
    OR	    AL,02H
    OUT	    0FCH,AL
    
    ;
    ; Switch to RS232
    ;
    IN	    AL,0FCH
    AND	    AL,0FDH
    OUT	    0FCH,AL

Now you'll have to build the rest of the logic around these segments. The
same could easily be done in 'C'.
