Hi. I have an RS232 Pak on my CoCo 3 and I'm trying to write a minimal
comminucation module in order to connect the CoCo and a PC with a null-
modem. The problem is that the Pak "refuses" to receive characters if the
Data Carrier Detect signal is not present.

What is the most practical way of making the RS232 Pak believe that
the DCD signal is present?
