How to toggle the RTS/DTS line

Is there any way to toggle the RTS or DTS pin of a serial port from VB.Net
2005? It looks like the system.io.ports insulates you from that ability.
Any work around?

Many thanks...
 
Hi,

RTS is toggled by using the RTSEnable property. There is no DTS line, so I
assume that you mean DTR. Use the DTREnable property.
