I thought maybe there were some other things needed to do in dealing with the bridge chip. (Is there any "handshaking" or clock data that needs to be sent/received between the Pic and the FT232XX?)
(Sorry in advance if I'm causing any confusion, etc. I'm just now starting to learn about rs232 and FTDI)
Thanks again,

The basic operation is just as simple as that. CTS/RTS are optional, programmable. The biggest pain (if you can call it that, 'cause it's all handled by Windows) is getting the thing recognized by Windows. If you don't mess with the drivers and install them correctly, no problem.
