Yeah, I'm getting myself confused now. :-/ (I do that sometimes.) The
Maxim reps were out here a couple weeks ago and I think I cross-multiplied
features from something they were talking about doing with the one that was
alrady out...

Anyway, I'm a little concerned about the 502 now since it doesn't seem to
be in any of the databooks and the datasheet isn't available on their
web-page. Wonder if it's obsoleted?

The 667 would be a good choice too. (I just went with the Maxim since they
were good with the free samples and we buy >1million RS232 transcievers per
year from them... ;-) The 667 is Voltage output too, so that works for me.
I'd like to see your design...
