What about a 18Fxxx device?=20 I'm thinking to start a PIC project and need a RS232 (as a console = port) and a RS485 (small network to other PIC card's) interface with a I2C. Any comments to that?

I am working on similar project with 16f873 that I needed 2 uart one Of them goes thru max232 19200 buad rate and the other one just receive data at 9600 Buad rate. Since I am using i2c bus too to communicate = with 24lc128 Eeprom I decided to use max4599 multiplexer which has 2 input one = output And control pin. In my application 2 uarts never going to work together So having multiplexer to switch back and forward works for me. If you figured it out different method other then spi or what I did please Let me know maybe you are going to find better way of doing it.
