little more info.
   
  Took a picdem2 board, wired to the other master board (removed the PIC) and was able to talk to the I2C devices on it..confirming the wiring is correct. 
   
  Put the master back in the original board, and proceeded to put the picdem PIC from master to slave.
   
  As soon as I load the  CON1 register....it starts to hold the I2C lines
   
   ;initialize MSSP module
   bsf        TRISC,3  
 bsf        TRISC,4
   movlw   0x80    ; initialize slave address
 movwf   SSPADD    ; and load to the address register
 bsf        SSPSTAT,SMP
----------------------------------------> breaks here
 movlw    b'00100110'
 movwf    SSPCON1

   
  Is there something fundamentally wrong that Im doing in setting the PIC as a slave?
