Quick Question:

If I use the USART of the PIC16F627 (or any other PIC with an USART) in =
async mode to communicate with a PC via a RS232 serial port, do I need =
to a transceiver chip such as the MAX232, or will it work without the =
transceiver? The datasheet I have on the PIC16F627 seems unclear about =
his, as do the application notes on the Microchip website.

Thanks
Werner
