There is a function that should read (and the counterpart that should
write) rs structure (record holding serial port information) from/to
kernel space. It can be accessed via ioctl() calls but i think it is
buggy; actually i never tested it because i only had 1 test machine and
modem behaved in weird way on my box (i used it as "remote terminal"); i
just submitted the file to Al who incorporated it into kernel source
because driver was working without this feature just as well.
Check out serial.c file (in arch/i86/drivers/char directory) for
details. It is commented afaik. If you have any question feel free to
ask me.
bye, Ab
