Thank you again, Oleg.

On the circuit board there is a silkscreen showing the spot for a header that has uart0 and uart1 tx and rx, as well as ground, 3.3v reference, and something labled 'reset' (i believe).
Oleg-- if you're listening-- Do you use that 3.3 volt feed as your supply for the rs232 chip? I assume yes.....
Hope this helps.. I will be trying to find the right capacitors for the max232 chip today after work, or at least find the spec sheet for the ones I have...
take care
