OUT2 - Output 2:
Controls the OUT2 output as described above. Used for interrupt enable. See section VII.
OUT1 - Output 1:
Controls the OUT1 output as described above. Unused on
RTS - Request To Send:
Controls the RTS output as described above.
DTR - Data Terminal Ready:
Controls the DTR output as described above. Used for
