That seems to be the best idea, for now.

This is an IR link @ 2400 bps; will try the magic bytes if I need to "drop"
more than 16 bytes or so with the frame error sync.

BTW, once the USART receive is switched on (16F877), does it automatically
give a framing error and set RCIF if it does not receive any data in a given
time (i.e. there is NO transmission at the other end)? I've had this happen
and it sounds weird; but the RX pin is held low locally when idle, so maybe
that's what confuses it.
