I am taking a closer look at how the Baud Rate is generated in my code.
Well it's not really my code. The project was handed to me by someone
who is building off someone else's code. And now I am trying to iron out
the kinks while learning about programming in PIC ASM.


I am thinking now that it is the baud rate. It looks like the values are
taken form the table in the 16f873A data sheet, which I have herd from
sources on the web is wrong. Can anyone verify that the baud rate table
on 16F873A data sheet, pg. 98 is incorrect?

Well, other than your code being wrong, you could have the wrong
settings on the PC terminal program. I wouldn't discount an error in
your program though, that is where the problem is 9 times out of 10 when
I have problems.
