He is the scoop on the DC-PORT.  DC-PORT does allow for up to 38400 baud thru
DC-PORT, but alas, we do not support RTS/CTS at this time.  I will discuss
the possibility of adding this with Gilbert (he is the hardware wiz).  We
had decided at the time that rts/cts was not used much, and to keep size and
cost down, we did not implement them.

On another note, 5-port versions are now available.

Previous question, we supportt the following lines:
send
receive
DCD - carrier detect
DTR - data terminal ready
ground
(unused pin) on rj12

We will post more info.  It may be possible to make a special version which
does support rts/cts, but I can't say for sure until speaking with gilbert.
