Apparently the topic of this particular post "Auto Baud Rate Detection" was one of the areas where the chip's EUSARTS have had reliability problems.
mmm, interesting, as i say often the only person you should trust is yourself

For the auto-baud, i'd never had the requirement for that so i can't comment on. Probably i'll never need it but in case of... i'll prefer my own method to detect instead of the PIC capability. mm i should try those i have here in stock.

Thanks for the info!
