Group Members,

Beginning in the days of the 1200 bps DPSK modem, clock crystals were specified to .01% to allow the demodulator at the receiving end to recover the clock in the data-stream and lock to it. The asynchronous serial port attached to the modem needed to be no more accurate than 1%, as the modem included an async-to-sync converter that would strip every eighth stop bit, if necessary, to reduce the incoming data rate to the modem rate. The sync-to-async converter in the receiving modem re-inserted the missing stop bits. The case of incoming data under-speed was handled in a similar manner.

The older FSK modems were much different. They would shift from mark to space tones at the data-rate you used. The filters and tone spacings were typically optimized for 300 bps, but across town, 450 bps was achievable.

A lot depends on just what you worry about. Most clock specs for serial com are 
in the 0.01 to 0.1% range.

The PIC's internal silicon clock is better than 1% over the entire industrial
voltage and temperature range.  They are accurate enough.

I believe he's using the internal clock on the PIC. It's not super accurate,
so running a lot of data can be an issue.

Looking at Richard's code in PICTICII.ASM :

    bsf     TXSTA,BRGH            ;set USART hi speed mode
    movlw D'51'                         ;set async rate at 9600 baud (51. for
8
MHz int, BRGH=1)
    movwf SPBRG

Then '25' would be 19,200 baud
and '12' would be 38,400 baud

Need to test this but could be a way to get more data out.
