help me regarding RS232

Hi ,

My board is connected to RS232 conector (COM port of PC). I would like to trigger two ckts through Hyper Terminal which are outside the board. How can i do it ? Can i use any other pins of RS232 other than Rx and Tx.
This external ckt may be one CRO and one switch.

Regards
