    Just another quick question, would using two MAX232 devices (one on each chip) and a common ground not also work?

    Sorry for the delayed reply to Wilton.

    Yes, a MAX232 chip on each PIC will work. It will also improve reliability over long distances (can't remember if this was from a Microchip datasheet of Maxim application note).
