If you are talking about a 9 pin serial port, 5 is already common, and 6 will go from negative to positive with respect to 5 based on the state of the DSR (Data Set Ready) signal.
It is up to you to figure out, based on your operating system, and computer hardware what is needed to control the state of the DSR line.
An excellent pinout reference for RS-232 ports is : http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/RS-232.html
