Serial Baudrate 115200

[flotulopex]

I'm having difficulties making my PIC's HSEROUT working at all. I need to get 115200bps.

I can reach 38400bps with the SEROUT2 command without any trouble.

For 115200bps, I go with HSEROUT. I use the MCS Serial Communicator and the PIC has a 20MHz crystal.

SEROUT2 is okay, HSEROUT is not working at all (not even @1200bps).

I've been trying to make it work for hours and hours, redoing the cabling (see picture) different ways as suggested in other threads, modifying the code also many times but no success until now. I just always get garbage on the serial terminal's screen.

There's a MAX232 close to the PIC making me think the lines are as short as possible. But is it enough on the hw side?
