shoot.. i meant 16f688... sorry about my careless mistake.
ok so i solved the problem. thanks Darrel. I just had to set the BAUDCTL.1 (WUE) bit.
I'm not sure if you read the whole 3 pages worth of information on Auto-wake-up on break, but it'll take a little more than flipping a bit.
The transmit side needs to send the right character (0), or a Break sequence, to wake-up the PIC or you will loose at least the first character and get a framing err (FERR), and possibly a buffer overflow (OERR).
The second character can also be lost if time is not allowed for the oscillator to stabilize.
