Hi - my suggestion is that you get one end working first....
e.g. (if you use a PIC without a UART) sort out your bit-banging routines and get the
PIC end working with windows Hyperteminal running on the pc.

Use the VBTERM sample program provided with VB and see if you understand how that
works.
Note that not all versions of VB include the necessary MSCOMM "driver" so if you do
not have VBTERM in your Samples sub directory you have even more work to do and
will have to get the mscomm alternative from Richard Grier's web site.
Also - make sure your PIC circuit includes the necessary RS232 level convertors.
