I have an application where I need to take 5 bits-per-character serial
data at very slow baud (approx 50 baud), and send it serially to
a PC via the RS-232 port. 

I can accomplish this with two back-to-back UARTS running at different
clock speeds and different bits-per-character.  I don't plan to
include a microprocessor in this device, only two UARTS, two clocks,
and some drivers.

I have looked around at a couple of UARTS, but the ones I looked at
(8250, 2651?) were designed to interface to a computer bus.  I need
UARTS that can be strapped to run with the desired bits-per-character,
stop-bits, etc.  (i.e. I want a UART whose configuration is set via
its external pins, not via an internal register that must be set each
time the power is applied to the device).

Thanks in advance.
