Hi All. Totally agree with SkiMask RTFM policy, so made sure I scoured this forum, Googled, thoroughly read data sheets, and re-reviewed a lot of code available.

BrianT's code and explanation above is good, but still have a few questions....
I want to receive keyboard strokes to an 18F2550 via UART from a keyboard plugged into the VDIP1. When I press a key on the keyboard, does that automatically get forwarded to the UART interface on the VDIP1 and wait for transfer? Or, somehow do I need to tell the vnc1l that it needs to forward that keystroke to UART? Then how do I tell the VDIP1 to transfer each byte to the PIC serial port?

The code above focuses on sending data out to a disk on the VDIP1, but doesn't show how to get data back.... I think. Somebody point it out if I've missed something.

Thank you.
Kirt
