AVR-Chat

I think the OP's question was about throughput, which would indicate the 
speed of RS-232 isn't fast enough.  Aren't the FTDI chips still limited 
to those (RS-232) speeds?

David, have you thought about some of the USB AVRs?  I bought a couple 
of USBKEY development boards a while back to experiment with but haven't 
had time to do so yet.  At about 32 bucks they aren't expensive, but the 
connectors are a bit hard to come by.  When you register the boards, I 
think, Atmel has the pc side drivers.
