Hi Richard
Some of the 16Cxx devices have serial communication possibilities built in,
just program the appropriate registers according to the data sheets and
you're running. Beware of the errata sheets though.  For instance, on the
16C74 you're adviced not to use a certain baudrate setting mode.
For the other 16Cxx devices, get application note AN555, "Software
Implementation of Asynchronous Serial I/O", document DS00555B on the
Microchip website.  It gives you both sample schematics and a lot of code.

Good luck
Michael
