I have been using the Dallas Semiconductor DS-1228 TTL <--> RS232 level
converters in various projects ... and they work just fine ... but
they are somewhat inconvenient to get. I have seen no regular retailer
stocking them, so I have to deal with DS direct. 

I have seen other such chips - Harris makes a 'ILC232' (?) and there
is another going by the handle 'MAX232'. Are these chips PIN
COMPATIBLE with the DS1228 ? I ask this because I have lots of boards
in stock made for the 1228. It is not relevant if the outboard caps
need slightly different values ... but the pin configuration needs
to be the same. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
