The RS232 serial port interface for kForth (-32/64 for Linux) has been updated to be able to provide user access to the modem bits e.g. DSR, CTS etc.

serial.4th has been updated to open USB -> RS232 devices also. These have device names /dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  etc. The predefined port constants USBCOM1 and USBCOM2 map to these dev interfaces. A word of caution -- if you have more than one USB->RS232 adapters, they may not map to the same /dev/ttyUSBx interface each time the system is booted.
Also, please make sure to add the user to the dialout group in order to have permissions for read/write access to both the UART and USB serial interfaces (/dev/ttySx and /dev/ttyUSBx).
