Answer:

of the modem control-register values under Win32.

var
CommPort : string;
hCommFile : THandle;
ModemStat : DWord;
begin
CommPort := 'COM2';
{Open the comm port}
hCommFile := CreateFile(PChar(CommPort),
GENERIC_READ,
0,
nil,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
0);
if hCommFile = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then
begin
ShowMessage('Unable to open '+ CommPort);
exit;
end;
{Get the Modem Status}
if GetCommModemStatus(hCommFile, ModemStat) <> false then begin
if ModemStat and MS_CTS_ON <> 0 then
ShowMessage('The CTS (clear-to-send) is on.');
if ModemStat and MS_DSR_ON <> 0 then
ShowMessage('The DSR (data-set-ready) is on.');
if ModemStat and MS_RING_ON <> 0then
ShowMessage('The ring indicator is on.');
