succinct serial port line definitions
courtesy of Google Definitions:
DCE:
Data communications equipment (modem)
DTE:
Data terminal equipment (computer)
DSR:
An RS-232 modem interface control signal (sent from the modem to the DTE on pin 6) which indicates that the modem is connected to the telephone circuit. Usually a prerequisite to the DTE issuing RTS.
www.marconi.com/html/glossary/glossaryd.htm
DTR:
An RS232 modem interface control signal (sent from the DTE to the modem on pin 20) which indicates that the DTE is ready for data transmission and which requests that the modem be connected to the telephone circuit.
www.marconi.com/html/glossary/glossaryd.htm
CTS:
Clear To Send: When using DCE (Data Communications Equipment; a modem is a common example), the CTS indicates that the DCE is ready to accept data.
