As explained in the document, those are the DCD and RI signals, both are 
"received" signals from the view of the PC. RS-232 spec requires that 
all pins tolerate an indefinite shortcircuit up to +/- 25 volts. 
Unfortunately designers sometimes take shortcuts in their designs. So 
you still get to keep all the pieces if the magic blue smoke is let out.
