Hi all, planning on doing a little serial i/o and want to get a good
idea before writing code that may end up worthless due to a false
assumption. :)

I plan on using the 16F876's USART in Asynch mode to talk to a HAM TNC,
9600 baud 8N1.  Looking through the datasheet, I see the TRMT bit is set
once a transmission is complete, is it safe to assume I can being a new
transmission once that bit is set?  I've used the SPI ports quite often,
and there is a transmit flag there which I use for the same purpose and
have no problems, but I'm wondering if since these commands might be
coming in too fast to be buffered by the slow TNC on the other end, if a
wait would be warranted after the transmission...

I'm hoping I can just keep firing away on the port but I'd like some
words of wisdom just in case.

Thanks

Nick
