I'm thinking of a different prototype board that will be for the new 18F USB
PICs and be USB powered.  If you just want RS-232 connectivity on a PC that
doesn't have a COM port, then what about an off the shelf USB to RS-232
converter?  I'm thinking that most of the target audience would either have
a PC with COM port, or already have such a converter.  Do you think this is
a bad assumption?
