Hi Jinx. I think I sort of understand your method. Keep in mind I've
never done bit banged serial reception. I'm saving up to buy Serial
PIC'n...someday I hope. (BTW if anyone has one for sale, let me know).
Anyway, if I understand correctly, you set a timer for some value
smaller than the length of a bit, then sample the pic every interrupt
right? But what if my timer interrupt lands right on a port change or
something? Also I don't understand the INTF statement.

Thanks,

Josh

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
