Ok, I had a go at this over the weekend. The device is uart compatible, so I found where the handle_tx and handle_rx functions were in the driver and added a handle_dcd function which checks the status of the DDCD bit in the MSR register and then calls uart_handle_dcd_change if needed. However, it doesn't work! The whole MSR register is always 0 for some reason. I checked to see if the modem status interrupt bit was set in the IER register and it is (at least it is after you call ldattach on the port). Does anyone have any bright ideas on what I might be missing?

Thanks a lot,
Nial
