I use a PC to communicate with a 16C74 via RS-232.
Sometimes after connecting the cable a get
a framing error (FERR-bit2 of RCSTA chip register ).
When this happens, no more data is received.
Both RX and TX lines are high (on the chip).
The manual states that FERR may be cleared by reading
register RCREG. The only way I have been able to clear
the FERR bit, is to reset the processor.
I use the PICMASTER emulator and the following C-code
is used for error handling:

   if (FERR || OERR) {
        CREN = 0;   /* Clear error */
        CREN = 1;   /* Enable reception */
        temp = RCREG;
   }

Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
