I've never had any troubles feeding TTL signals to "RS-232" inputs.
I tried the simple wire first. It didn't work, so I guessed that my pulse
wasn't wide enough and built a debugging setup that had a pair of DE-9
connectors with ground, Rx and Tx jumpered across. The DCD pins came out to
a couple of wires so I could easily get at them with clip leads and try
things.
