I assume you mean that you want to communicate to an external circuit connected
to your PC's com port and plan to use a 16550 UART on the external circuit. If
that is the case, consider the EDE300 serial/parallel and parallel/serial
preprogrammed PIC from E-Labs at http://www.netins.net/showcase/elab/.

This would not require register setup like the 16550.
