{ >1. Let me look at the RING line from the modem
>2. Let me determine the condition of CARRIER DETECT.
The Modem Status Register (MSR) Byte contains this info.
Carrier Detect: MSR bit 7 will be set it there is a carrier
detected. Bit 3 indicates if there has been a change in the
carrier detect status since the last time the MSR was read.
Ring: is indicated by MSR bit 6. Bit 2 indicates if there
was a change in bit 6 since the last time the MST was read.
Bits 2 and 3 are cleared each time the MSR is read.
Obtaining the MSR Byte may be done by directly reading the
port value, or by calling the BIOS modem services interrupt $14.
I've Typed in the following without testing.
Using the BIOS...

Function GetMSR( COMport :Byte ) :Byte;
{ call With COMport 1 or 2 }
Var
Reg : Registers;
begin
Reg.DX := COMport - 1;
Reg.AH := 3;
Intr( $14, Reg );
GetMSR := Reg.AL
end;

...
MSRByte := GetMSR(1); { MSR For COM1 (clears bits 0..3) }
...
Using direct access: For COM1, the MSR is at port $3FE; For COM2
it's at $2FE...
...
MSRByte := Port[$3FE]; { MSR For COM1 (clears bits 0..3) }
...
To test the status...

*)
IF ( MSRByte and $80 ) <> 0 then
CarrierDetect := True
ELSE
CarrierDetect := False;
IF ( MSRByte and $40 ) <> 0 then
Ring := True;
ELSE
Ring := False;
{
Similar logic can be used With bits 2 and 3, which will inform
you of whether or not a change occurred in bit 6 or 7 since the
last read of the MSR.
