[ale] quick way to raise DTR on serial port?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Thanks for the help guys.  The port is working fine.  It turns out it 
was a cable that I _thought_ was a serial extension cable, but 
apparently has a different pinout.

Man, I need to label those things.

Anyway, thanks for the debugging tips.

Cheers,
CB
