Welcome to the club of hairpulling engineers.

MPSIM does NOT DO USART simulation. PERIOD!

I too wasted weeks of time developing serial code in MPSIM trying
to figure out why it wasn't working as coded. When I fiaally got my
hands on a live chip and burned my code, it worked PERFECTLY THE
FIRST TIME! I no longer trust MPSIM because of the numerous errors
I've found in simulating timers, CCP, etc.

Thats because the USART simulation is utterly broken.

One more week to go ;-{
