If, however, anyone knows how to recieve an 5v undefined-length impulse with [comport], with little hardware fuss, i'm still interested.
You should be able to read both the DTR and CTS lines by repeatedly banging the [info( message into [comport] and routing the "dsr" and "cts" messages that come out the right outlet. Also if you set the baud rate really low and send 5V through about 1kohm into the Rx pin with the switch connecting it to ground, you should get some random data out of it.
