The best way to start is to read the USART section in the mega8 
datasheet; it begins on page 133 of the 10/2006 edition.  Several 
pages into that section, you'll find C code examples for initializeing 
the USART and for transmitting/receiving in polled mode.  Once you 
understand that process and if you have an understanding of Interrupt 
Service Routines in general it is a small step to move on to interrupt 
driven transmission/reception.
