if you want to know about PICs specifications, look at the manufacturers web site.
that's http://microchip.com (http://microchip.com) for PICs.
check the links form this page:

Only one serial line?

Not sure what you're talking about.  In a previous project, I used a PIC16F628 with two pairs of serial lines as a sort of translator between 9600 and 2400 baud, and I had no problems at all.  One pin for 9600 in, one for 9600 out, one for 2400 in, one for 2400 out.

Actually, now that I think about it, I used another one for 9600 out to a serial LCD for monitoring purposes as well.

More then 1 set of duplex lines..


IE two or three lines and such.   but I will look at that.

Some AVR's have multiple UART (serial) lines . . . if you are willing to convert over :P
