Hi,
Have you looked at the max232 chip? According to the Wikipedia page ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAX232 ) ( not my usual go to site for electronics information! ) it can do this. I've used them in the past for serial to TTL conversion on RX and TX lines and I think the chip has another 2 lines spare on top of that. I guess you can use them for whichever other signal lines you want / need.
Cheers,
Rob.

Yeah, I don't see why that wouldn't work. (Which quite likely means that it won't work, but its worth a try) All its doing is shifting signal levels, it doesn't know if they are RX, TX, DTR, or something totally different...
I seem to recall you need capacitors around the chip for it to work correctly. Other than that from what I remember it was fairly to get working for RX and tx if nothing else.
