But frankly, i would use DEBUG instead if you don't need multiple serial ports.
If you use the internal OSC... you better forget it...
Right, I know about the PicMultiCalc, works like a champ.

If I use the hardware UART on the PIC, a modified version the software works great, but I lose the ability to use SERIN2's character handling capability, which is really handy.
This tells me that possibly the SERIN2 runs just a bit off spec at 38,400 baud.

When I get the software finished up, I'll permanently switch over to the hardware port and write my own routines to handle strings and such as needed.

Internal OSC? Obviously the only time I trust that is at 2400 and below, without calibrating anyways. After calibration, I've used it successfully up to 115,200.
