Take a look at TI cross. They are much cheaper, widely available.

MAX232 and MAX202 may work but RS232 voltage levels (and currents) 
aren't guaranteed so it is not design a board using MAX202 and MAX232 to 
work at a nominal level under +5V. You have to read carefully datasheet 
and see output voltage swing in function of Vcc and you may see that may 
drop down to 4.5V that is a very bad value.
