Stanley - The RX/TX are correct, I added the 0. uF capacitor between Pin 1 and DTR, Speed is now 57600. Sadly, no change, but I like the idea for the Auto-Reset. Will keep that one !
Grumpy_Mike - I thought that the crystal might be problematic. Looks like I will have to get a 16MHz crystal.... or as close as possible to try this out. Will have to pick one up tonight. I guess I can reuse the 16.670 MHz in a project that does not need timings or to be re-programmed.
Thanks to both of you for replying.... very helpful in all regards.
I'll post back to let everyone know what ended up happening.
