some registry of 16f676 IC.

I say this because I have change the PIC circuit in a 1000hole board and I get
the same garbage.
I think to have change something in the code about OSC define or something
aroud and the serial work.
I anyway I can wrong, but the only thing ever same is the MAX232 circuit,
but there is only some condensator so I can see any thing wrong.

Maybe some one have made the same circuit with PIC 16f676 and Max232
and he can check if the code, expeccialy the Oscillator define, is correct ?
