Pic and the Xbee module

[Michael]

I'll just use 74hct125 -- made room for it -- do you know, does it invert? Will I have to run the signal through one or 2 stages? THANKS.

I like this ---

SN74LVC2T45 8pins non inverting and cheap

Thanks that Charles, In my sleep deprived state i'd forgoten that not all PICs run stable at lower voltages.
In my case, the 16F688 does run fine @4Mhz 3.3V.
