				Need to comm between PC and multiple PICs using a PIC based comm hub, SPI is in use and not available.
 
 
With only UART available I see my options as SW UART w/18f or pin mapping using 24fj.
 
 
Id prefer to use the 24fj w/pin mapping, but only have PCWH. I wouldnt mind paying the additional $ to upgrade to PCWD, but Ive read   that there are alot bugs/problems w/this compiler.
 
 
On the other hand I have no exp w/SW UART and unsure if I could comm w/3-4 pics in real time w/o loss of data.
 
 
Basically Im using VB.NET to monitor the output of analyzers while alos loading varialbe data to calibrate the analyzer.
 
 
Any insights would be appreciated.
