 		 #169034 - Two transmitters
Responding to: ???'s previous message
And what do you think happens with the signals, when you connect two transmitters together? Don't you think the PC will have a hard time hearing any messages sent from one of the two 8051 chips?

You are not expected to do it, but you can connect multiple listeners to an RS232 cable. And you can obviously connect the logic-level signal from a MAX232 chip to multiple receivers. But you need special designs to allow multiple transmitters. Some serial designs are using tri-state and some are using open-collector drive, to allow multiple masters on a wire. RS232 is designed for one master in each direction.
