Hi Ross
I did a project that has comms to a rs232 port on the pc from the pic.
Works asynchronous at 2400 baud. We simply used Hyperterminal to
display the ascii from the pic. My program had to recognise commands
from the pc and react to it.

Let me know if you want the code. It's written in C, but should be a
breeze in asm.
