#82722 - Watch for the transceiver.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Some transceivers run on marginal amount of power. Some use excessive amounts. I tried MAX232 and I couldn't run it from a standard 9V battery attached through 5V regulator - the usage was too high, the voltage was dropping too low. (so no way it could run from any RS232 pin). Only after I attached a 12V power supply, the levels got within tollerances. MAX233 behaved a bit better though not without its problems. So the answer is: Most probably it won't work.
