I have manipulated the Serial port. I can send and receive data. I can toggle the RTS line. However I have not been able to read the Status of the CTS line. Well it is always LOW, even when I pull it to 5V.

Has any body used this line. Does it work?

By the way I have used eVB to write the code.

What I need is to monitor the status of a line which may be set to HIGH or LOW. Can I use any other pins to monitor an external device?

By the way at the same time the serial port is also used to receive and transmit data. So I can not use the serial port.
