Sorry for the following total mess of information. Let me know if I should elaborate on any of this. 



OK, some more technical information from "back then":

Serial Port 0 uses gpSerPortSel on pin 8. When gpSerPortSel switches high, the card must respond with a low on DCD (5).

TVoyagerPlatform::SerialPort0LineDriverConfig(unsigned char, unsigned char) writes to GPIO6 which is gpSerPortSel.

TVoyagerPlatform::PowerOnSubsystem(unsigned long) calls this function, but the value for gpSerPortSel is already inside the TVoyagerPlatform class.

The same is true for TVoyagerPlatform::PowerOffSubsystem(unsigned long)

but I can't find the code that would test any of the serial ports pins.


Aaah, here's a snippet I found in my docs:

Internal Modem connector

Port 0 (serial)

Pin	Name	Dir	LTC1323
2	TDX		I	4	TXD		TXD+-
3	DTR		I	5	TXI		TXO
4	RTS		I	6	/TXDEN	
5	DCD		O	9	/RXO	/RXI
6	CTS		O	10	RXO		RXI
7	RXD		O	11	RXD0	RXD+-
8	gpSerSel	I	7	SHDN	H -> shutdown chip

PortSel goes low, stays low if
  TXD=H, DTR=L, RTS=H, DCD=H>L, CTS=L, RXD=H



Last annotation: SER 001 uses a LTC1323 and a hand full of caps (EMI Filters), but no other active parts.
