If this is just a hack and you don't care if it screws up
somebody else using the UART, just....

#define BASE 0x3f8 // For first UART
#define MCR 0x3fc
#define DTR 0x01
#define RTS 0x02

... read/write directly to the MCR port, saving the bits you don't
want to change... You use the outb(value, port); and inb(port);
instructions for ports.
