[Mono-dev] SerialPort and Ring Indicator signal

[Carlos Alberto Cortez]

Well, RING indicator can't be directly used (as opossed to Cts, Dsr, CD,
Rts and Dtr). The public API in .Net does not expose this indicator
directly (you can only monitor it based on the events).

Of course we could add it to the get_signal_code () function and
retrieve it. But the real problem is that we can't add it - we must keep
compatibility with .Net API.

Probably this is achieved in some way - since you mentioned that you are
porting a .Net app-. But in that case, we must have additional info -and
some code-.

Carlos.
