I do not think so.
The internal RC clock is a fixed 32 KHz clock source
and I do not think that you could run the USART
at 9600 buad on that one.

I guess you are talking about the 8 MHz *INTOSC*
clock source, right ?

The "solution" is to adjust the INTOSC
using OSCTUNE whenever the PIC is seeing
framing or other errors. Or by using a
timing character string from the "other" side
to adjust the baudrate. Or use a newer device
with auto-baud that can adjust itself.

But of course, it would be interesting to see/know
*how* much off your device is from 9600 baud.
