<p>In all honesty, I think the answer is "no;" however, I want to get a second opinion. Basically, I need one micro-controller device to send a steady signal to another one, but the communicate between them is using RS232. So I think that I have to create/update the communication messages to get it to do what I want.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

You should be able to set something like DTR (Data Terminal Ready), pin 20, or DSR (Data Set Ready), pin 6, high and keep it there as your steady-state signal. This is how modems/terminals detect that there is a device on the other end that is ready to communicate.  It all depends on what level of access you have to the hardware through your driver.
[EDIT] This doesn't involve sending data, although you could still do that using TX/RX, pins 2 & 3.
