The datasheet says that either TxC or RxC should be left unconnected, 
can't recall which one.  I already closed the PDF and have a mess of 
a desktop right now.
I am not sure what the difference is in a Crystal Oscillator, an 
Oscillator, or a Crystal in these hacks/descriptions since people 
slang the terms around so much.  Jameco clearly sells both Crystals 
and Oscillators both in 1.8432 mhz and 3.6864 mhz.  Whether a cyrstal 
actually oscillates or an oscillator behaves like a crystal, I 
ordered the "crystals" which look identical to the "oscillators".  :)
