I have a PIC18F2450 installed in a PicKit 2 development board. The date sheet states:

"Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation"

Does this mean that I can connect the PIC directly to my Laptop serial serial port? If not, what additional hardware do I need? If so, what pins do I use? I plan on using the usart.pbp sample for testing.

Thanks,
Bob Hiller
