Concerning Autobaud, I started down the path of using RC PIC's for low cost.  Cr
ystals
and ceramic resonators were over $1.00 where RC circuits were $.10-.15.  Then I
found
ceramic resonators from FAI at $.26 each.  Its hard not to take the .3%  frequen
cy
stability over an RC for $.15.  Also very good prices on PIC's.  Call Chris or N
ancy at
1-800-303-5701 or 303-237-1400.  This is not a recommendation for FAI, just a co
st
effective place to buy some items.
PS  Anyone had experiance with PIC running stright off 115VAC power, no xformer?
