Hello,
I have a wireless telemetry system which is supposed to connect two devices
by RS232 serial ports.  The system works fine between two PC's, providing a
seemless serial connection.

The problem is, I'm trying to connect a PC to a datalogger which doesn't use
handshaking (the wireless system needs to use handshaking).  I've been
thinking of using a PIC to receive the datalogger data, buffer it, check the
PIC side of the connection, and send data to the PC when possible.  The data
transfer speed is 9600bps (it -could- be 4800bps, but I doubt that).

Does this seem like a reasonable way of handling the situation?  I haven't
done any serial comm work before, but the little I've read on RS232
handshaking doesn't appear to discount this manner of manipulating it.

Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
