THanks Richard,
I am 95% sure I got the 232N parts when I ordered the 232cpe parts
from Jameco and they shipped the 232N instead. I don't mind
substitutes, as long as I understand what it is being done to me :-)

Looks to me like the MAX232N is a Texas Instruments part while the
MAX232CPE is a Maxim part. At least that't the way I found the
datasheets.
No matter, both use 1.0 ufd capacitors. Too bad, the MAX232A uses
0.1
ufd which are much smaller.
I prefer the MAX233 because it doesn't require any charge pump
capacitors. It still requires a decoupling capacitor.
