Yes, I'm in Sweden, so I bought the modules directly from Free2move.
Last year I bought their serial port dongle from Expansys. Maybe you

That's right. I connected RXD, TXD directly to the PIC UART, and the
CTS/RTS signals to some other i/o pins. They recommend that you use hw
handshaking but I'm not sure you really need it.
