re: 16C84 Async Serial Transceiver

   Jean, you might consider implementing a simple 3-wire, SPI-style, serial
bus depending on your application. That would eliminate the RS-232 `glue'
since you are driving an optical network. All you need is serial data out,
serial data in, and serial clock. It's much easier to implement in
software.
