In the meantime I think have my own routines (in C) running. But maybe
I'm overlooking something. Reading in other similar programs could be
very educational. So yes please.
I assumed the receive part would be the hardest, but actually the
transmit part, esp. handling of TXIF/TXIE, took most of my time.

You mentioned about all the features I want to support, and have in
place in the meantime! In general: I want to support high speed, high
volume traffic between a PIC-based device and a PC, and be able to use
the hardware FiFo buffering of the COM-port of the PC (16 bytes load count).
Although it looks like my program is functionally OK now I still want
to compare if with some 'production' code before I publish it
(assuming someone is interested!)

Thanks so far.
