Uhhh...oops. I am using a 22K resistor on the transmitter line of the serial port but not on the RTS. What value of resistors should I place on the RTS line?

Oh, and will my PIC work or is it completely trashed at this point?

Thanks.

22K is good...same voltages on RTS/CTS, but remember, it'll be inverted from normal RS-232 standards since it's not going thru a MAX-232.

Pic might work, might not, easiest way to test is to write some code to make an LED on another port follow a switch put on the suspect port............then reverse the process...put an LED on the suspect port, put a switch on another port and make the LED follow that same switch.
