You could try strapping the RS232C input signal "CD" (Carrier Detect - pin 8)
to any active output signal, such as "DTR" (Data Terminal Ready - pin 20), 
through a 1K resistor so as to avoid blowing something.
You may need to do the same thing at both ends of the link.

Big Disclaimers:  I havn't tried this myself.  No warranties.  Don't try it
unless you are comfortable with basic electronics repair.  Don't do it with the
power on.
