I'm looking for recommendations for a single-package solution to interface a PIC to an outside-world serial port. I have +/-18V supplies available, so I don't need a charge pump device like the MAX232 (and it's extra caps). The TI SN75155 would do the job, but it costs more than the MAX232 does, and this is a cost-sensitive project. Any ideas?
