Is there a level converter (MAX232 type) between the PIC and the PC?
If there is, change the N9600's to T9600. If not, your PC might have a problem receiving the 'weak' 5v RS232 coming from the PIC and you might have to use a MAX232 to get the PC to receive it. I know I almost have to use a MAX232 with my laptops and one of my newer desktops. But one of my 'old' desktops will take a 5v RS232 signal without a problem.
