Ok, i'm looking at the best way of multiplexing the hardware USART's output and this is what I have come up with.

- Use IC with 4 OR gates (only using 2, but they come with 4).
- Gate 1: Input1=USART, Input2=A PIC I/O Pin, Output=One of the serial outputs
- Gate 2: Input1=USART, Input2=Another PIC I/O Pin, Output=Another serial output
- Use software so that only 1 of the I/O pins is ever high at a time

I know I could use a NOT gate which would allow me to use only 1 I/O Pin, but i'd rather use another I/O pin than add another IC.

If anyone can see how this can be done better (and still only using the PIC + 1 IC), feel free to share.
