I'm using a MAX232CPE with a 82C50 to send/recieve serial data,
i've got reasons not to be using the PIC for this.  Sending works fine,
but receiving gives me a constant stream of characters (usually the same
one) that aren't being sent from the other side (a PC running Telix).

        Has anybody experienced anything like this?  I'm absolutely sure
that the software is right, so i'm assuming it's the MAX232 or the cable.
