I don't have the 16F8XX datasheet on me. But from what I can see of the
18FXXX data sheet setting the SBRPG = 0 will give you the maximum baud rate.
I'm not sure if the formula is the same for the 17F8XX, but for the 18FXXX
you need to solve;
Baud Rate = Fosc / [Y (X +1) ]

Where Y is 64 for Aync lowspeed, 16 for Aync highspeed and 4 for sync low
speed.

For the 18FXXX it's 10000kb for Synchronous and 2500 kb for Async - tables
P169 - P171 of DS39564B.
